Is this a Canyon or California Towhee? If not, anybody know what it is? Was taken in the Manzano Mountains of New Mexico.
Thanks!

No idea but I really like the first shot you nicely focused on the eye. :)

Thanks - certainly behaves like a Towhee. My wife describes the Towhee's little scratch/dance/shuffle as a "Towhee hoedown".
