Nope _ Stan had it - Rose-breasted grosbreak. The towee I know well
from Maine (and elsewhere) . Confusion understandable at a glance,
but
note the very white bit on his front and the magenta tone to the
color.
Their size and chubbiness is similar
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)
