with due respect, i am going to stick to my ID, which was from familiarity backed with sources first tip off for me was the red color is on the side, google image search, plus ibird pro app, show all RB grosbeaks with white sides, red concentrated to the front and center breast, while RS towhees live up to their name with red extending along the side as for the beak, the color in the photo is oversaturated, but i think the beak is black; pinkish legs are also indicative (the grosbeak has grey) of many sources, these are pretty clear (scroll down to the photos) <http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/rose-breasted_grosbeak/id> <http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Eastern_Towhee/id> -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
