Field Notes
Description:
Adults generally have gray heads, necks, and breasts, gray or brown backs and wings, and a white belly, but show a confusing amount of variation in plumage details. The white outer tail feathers flash distinctively in flight and while hopping on the ground. The bill is usually pale pinkish.
Habitat:
My yard
Notes:
I came across this older photo and was struck by the white on the bird's head.
