The top pic here is my favorite--it provides such a sharp view of the Canyon Towhee's eye with the pupil showing distinctly inside the brown iris and the clear pale/whitish eye ring. It's crown appears more rust than reddish as described by Sibley and others. Double-click on this pic-it enlarges even more and stays quite sharp.
I included the middle pic since it shows almost all of the bird. The bottom pic shows what Sibley describes as a "'necklace' of dark spots" and the distinctive dark breast spot. SeEtta
