I think this is either a canyon towhee or a green-tailed towhee; but can someone positively ID it for me?
Thanks,
Jane
CLOSED: Towhee (I think) ... But which type?
I'll be interested in what Resin says.
I believe its a Canyon Towhee.
Yep, Canyon Towhee. Too grey for Green-tailed.

Thanks Pelle & Resin ... I was leaning more toward canyon; just never saw one with its crest so poofy.
Raised crown feathers like that is often a sign of anxiety / alarm in birds - maybe you were close to its nest?
