    Unknown bird sighting, please help!

    Does anyone know what bird this is? It has shimmering dark green wings and what appears to be stripes under the wings. Underneath the tail has white spots on the sides. I saw it today knocking at the window and I don't know what it is. Please help fellow birdies!
