Its head was = almost entirely white above the moustachial stripes. When I first saw it = in the brush, all I could see was the head. Then it came out and started = picking seeds in the open and I could clearly see the stickpin on the = chest and the moustachial stripe. There was a faint stripe through the eye = but the crown and most of the nape were white. Weird. Tyler Bell bell@acnatsci.org California, MD Wave that flag...wave it wide and high!
