SPOTTED TOWHEE (aberrant or variant plumage)

[David Laliberte]

COMMENT: I thought that this Towhee is an interesting example of an "aberrant or variant
plumage." I had done a search of the internet with those keyword. The only thing
different that I found was a photo of Spotted Towhee that has white spots on it's chest.
I didn't find any photos with the markings of my sighting.

Wow, that chest is super weird, especially if you look closer at it and see the spots.
