Question:

Help Identifying a bird?

0 LIKES UnLike

I saw this bird at a birdfeeder. It has a beak about as long as its head, when its shut they sorta criss cross. It has a tanish, brown back and a yellowish orange belly that sorta fades as it gets to his throat. It has yellow on its back and a little white spot in the middle, as seen in the picture posted below. I've tried websites to identify and I can't find it. It sorta looks like a wren or a thrasher, but none of those have the same colors as this bird has. I'm looking for less of links for identification websites, because I've tried plenty. I'm trying to see if anyone knows what this bird could be possibly.

This picture, link bellow, ts the best I could do with my cellphone before he flew away (sorry).
