Subject: [TN-Bird] Identification Help Need, Please
About 15 minutes ago, I had a bird visit my bird creek. I am about 6 paces
from the creek or less, however, I did not have my binos. At first glance, I
thought the bird was a female grosbeak,and then I realized the bird was too
small and the eye stripe not quite right. As it leaned over to take a drink,
it had black and white stripes on its crown (not a white crowned or a white
throated sparrow). It had a beak like a grosbeak. I would guess it was the
same size as a house sparrow. (It was definitely smaller than the brown
thrasher it had just replaced.) The bird appeared tall and "lanky" but with a
very thick "muscle builder" neck/head. The head seemed very misplaced for the
body. It was a brownish bird (in shade so hard to tell exact color) and it had
one wing bar - white - with black on the wing as well.
That's the best I'll be able to do with a description. I was caught without
pen/paper or binoculars. I've already looked through the field guides and
nothing resembles the bird. I could be wrong about the black on the wing...but
I know I am right about the rest.
