This bird hung out with me on the deck and sang a song a chirpy tune.
I would also guess spotted towhee
I would also of that bird!
Location? Looks towhee shaped but I don’t recognize it. The Merlin app is great for sound and descriptive IDs as well
I'd guess Western North American since this looks very much like a Spotted Towhee to me.
I disagree with spotted towhee and need a location
Front range Colorado Arvada. I don’t see any orange on this bird
The orange is probably tucked under the wings honestly. I do agree with spotted towhee now, that bill looks black and not backlit and the white tail tips are way more obvious to me now lol
Try this youtube video https://youtu.be/kzW6l0AxKT4?si=qLOms37o17xjrVo2 for the call
I live in the same area, and I also think it is spotted towhee.
Spotted Towhee Confirmed Google and a Bird app.
Maybe lark bunting?
I’ll throw out a Julie magpie. Tail length is significant. This would be far bigger than a towhee and there is no way to judge size
I would also guess spotted towhee
