Not sure what to make of this bird -- and I promise the last questionable junco shot I'll post for a while. Thought it was a female Oregon, but with that much gray in the flanks and the cinnamon triangle on the back and wings, is this rather a female slate-colored? Or something else entirely?

Katy,

I suspect you have a hybrid here. No female Slate-colored is ever so rich brown on the back. The front appears to be Slate-colored, and the rest appears to be Pink-sided or Gray-headed.
