Western Spindalis

 

The Western Spindalis is found in thickets, forest edge, gardens, and fruiting trees and bushes. Usually in pairs or small flocks, and often quite inconspicuous. 


The handsome male is unmistakable, with bold head pattern, golden-yellow and dark reddish body plumage, and bold white wing pattern. Female is notably drab, grayish olive overall with a small white mark on the wing, and a ghosting of the male wing pattern. Cornell All About Birds
