Late post; possible Abert's Towhee in Adams County

Hi Cobirders

On Nov. 5 I had a brown bird at Lowell Ponds Open Space in Adams County. My notes say; brown above, pale below, black eye face, bill ivory colored and cone shaped. It seemed to be smaller than a robin, but larger and slimmer than a junco. No wing stripes. It was silent while I watched it. I've spent two days studying Stokes and National Wildlife Federation field guides also ebird and Cornell lab web sites, Abert's Towhee is the best match. I have not seen it in my later visits to Lowell Ponds, but maybe the rest of you can keep an eye out.
