Eastern Towhee 01 (male red-eyed)
Eastern Towhee - Red eye
Pipilo erythrophthalmus
The Eastern Towhee was photographed in my back yard in Highlands, NC.
This is the male red-eyed Towhee that is identified by the black head and back with the white patch on the primaries. The orange side and white belly are easily seen.
The adult male has two variations, one that is white-eyed the other red-eyed.
