Possibly the plainest and most common bird in California, and here it's managed to even hide its one patch of color - the red bit under its rump.

Location
Golden Gate Park, San Francisco
Date taken
27 Aug 2014
Scientific name
Melozone crissalis
Equipment used
fz200 +2.2
But you forgot to add they're very sociable birds and allow us to walk closer to them than other birds. Nicely done Doc.
