A Female Spotted Towhee. She is looking a little bedraggled from tending her young. The male Spotted Towhee has dark black feathers, the white spots are more prominent and the orange “flanks” are brighter as well. The brilliant red eye remains the same!

      Thanks, she has looked better. The nest is located nearby and so far we have not found it. Posted 6 years ago

The Spotted towhee

The spotted towhee is a large New World sparrow. The taxonomy of the towhees has been debated in recent decades, and formerly this bird and the eastern towhee were considered a single species, the rufous-sided towhee.
