Hey All.
Haven't been around for a while, been in the wind. Hope to catch up now slowly.
First thing, I had a bird at the feeder I can't find in Sibley's or Audubon's. Doesn't mean he's not there of course, and I have no pix, but perhaps a leg up from you fine folks?
About the size of a tanager or so, I'm guessing.
Yellow crown stripe, brown eyebrow, yellow eye stripe grading into white at rear, brown cheeks/face, yellow neck and belly grading down to buff, dark brown wings with white spots, shortish tail. Had a rather roman nose profile with a dark, somewhat coarse beak and a flat forehead. Pretty sure it was a male.
I'm in the British Columbia interior.
Any ideas?
Thanks much.
