Spotted Towhee (Pipilo maculatus)

Yesterday's blog was about the Eastern Towhee: today it's the Spotted Towhee.   The Spotted Towhee is distinguished from the similar Eastern Towhee by the white spotting on its back and scapulars; as well as the tips of the median and greater coverts, which form white wing bars.

It is found on the American Great Plains and casually in eastern North America.
