Pacific Northwest Spotted Towhee-Jeffco-Golden

Birders

For the last couple of days I have a bird at my feeders that matches the Pacific Northwest ssp of Spotted Towhee.  Very few white spots and extensively dark rufous sides.  The song also seems to be different.

Lucky you! I lived in Western Washington for 17 years, and I know the "Rufous-sided Towhee" (as we called it back then) oh so well.
