Can you guess what bird this is just by the description?

Description 7-8 1/2" (18-22 cm). Male has black head, back, wings, and tail; orange breast, rump, and shoulder patch. Female olive-brown, with dull yellow-orange underparts and 2 dull white wing bars.

Want to try another one? This one's easy.


Description 10" (25 cm). Barred black and white above; pale buff below and on face; sexes similar except that male has red crown and nape, female red nape only. Reddish patch on lower abdomen is seldom visible in the field.

One more easy one...

Description 13" (33 cm). A pigeon-sized bird, blue-gray above, white below, with bushy crest, dagger-like bill. Male has blue-gray breast band; female similar, but also has chestnut belly band.

I'm quite small, just slightly longer than a House Sparrow. I've got a beady black eye, and a short, stubby but fairly thin beak. I'm a sort of leaden grey above, and whitish below, except for a distinct orangey tinge to my lower flanks. But perhaps what you'll notice most obviously, is my short, stubby crest, whitish right at the base, but mostly black.

Oh, and where am I?
