Bird Brain Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Yes, Dark-eyed Junco. Looks like the Slate-colored variety. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to dark gray upperparts (no hint of brown), contrasty plumage, and crouching posture, this is an adult male. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know about that, but I see it in this article by Sibley. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
