Anyone know what this little bird is? My only clues are it was eating grass seeds and it showed up (for a minute) about the same time as an adult yellow warbler.

lhoy Senior Member More info | Sep 08, 2012 13:48 | #4 The white throat is not right, the back is too solid in color, the streaking on breast is to indistinct and the overall size is wrong. There is no stippling on the head either.
