The Bird Nuts Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Just now, Dan P said: A House Finch without streaking on the underparts? Could be molting or fluffing up its feathers. It also has a red rump and head. No doubt a House Finch. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiscalus quiscula Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Yep, now I agree with Red-whiskered Bulbul, blob subspecies. White spots at tail tip, uniform brown color, and you can see a little of the white throat. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
