Thanks, Iggygal http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/phot...v1sRgCI6wl_eV2OfYigE&feat=directlink It was in my front yard yesterday and it was the first time I had ever seen one.

White-Throated usually have BRIGHT yellow Lores (puff balls) in front of their eyes. I can't see the lores so I suspect that this could be the White-Crowned, a CLOSE relative of the White-Throated.
