Thanks.
I was working harder this afternoon with my better lens.
A lot like this one, so I will see. I just want one bird.

Certainly not going to argue with Dan, sounds like he is da man. By the way I failed to mention fantastic timing on your capture. Paul.

It looks like a female house finch. The males add some rosy red to head and chest but the females are all brown with some striping. The size is right, and there are often males at the same feeder.

BTW, thanks to my neighbor Dan for the ID

I would have swore that was a young northern bob white. Do you know what species this is? Paul

No, not a young quail. They stick to the ground.

Am I correct in saying your bird is a juvenile quail? Paul
