Yup, a Pine Siskin...nice capture! ?

OK, however, a female Varied Thrush would not be a bright orange but more of a pale-muted orange. Another thing to take into consideration is that in the field birds often look smaller/larger than they really are especially if they are on the ground. The ''necklace'' you described seems more like a breast-band so here are a few more suggestions...Killdeer, Horned Lark, Semipalmated Plover and this one is probably a stretch...Northern Lapwing. ?

Cassin's Finch. ?

Could it be a Varied Thrush? ?

Golden-crowned Sparrow. ?

Evening Grosbeak. ?

Chukar. ?

American Kestrel. ?

Varied Thrush. ?

Taken 08 OCT 2018 / South Central Washington / Klickitat County I heard a Raven squawking, really making a big ruckus so I looked out and saw this bird sitting on top of this Oak snag. At first, I thought it was another Raven but it looked quite a bit larger than the Raven and it appeared to be hunkered down. I went to grab my camera and just as I had the bird framed up it flew so these two photos are all I have. It has been raining here in the PNW so it is very gray and overcast so I apologize for the poor quality of the photos. I'm sure someone can ID this bird tho...I thought it might be a Heron but then I didn't see its legs trailing behind so I'm stumped. Thanks in advance for any and all help. ?

Welcome to Whatbird! The photos will not open. ?

No worries...just thought I'd let you know. ?

@Pigeon I thought you might be able to help the OP out. Thank you. ?

Hairy woodpecker.

Nice photo. Just a quick heads-up...the rules state that we can not make back to back posts...but I'm going to post an H. ?

The bill looks like a House Wren but the body posture and tail do lean towards a Winter Wren. I don't know if they hybridize or not. I saw my first Winter Wren a few days ago and managed to get a decent photo, a lifer for me, so I was pretty excited. ?

Yep, I see it now. I was so focused on the bill that I neglected to look at the tail. ? Do I get a point for at least getting gray and catcher right? lol!

Gray Flycatcher is the best match I can find...I might be missing something too so that may be wrong. ?

#5 Agree with Great Black-backed Gull ...I missed seeing the red eye ring. ?
