Tell me, is that 'ow' element pronounced as in 'cow' or as in 'low' ?

And thanks, what an elegant bird!

Is this a sub-species of the Spotted Towhee only seen in California? It
looks a lot like the female towhee we have around here.

As I understand it, it is a distinct species. Both male and female have the
same dull brown coloration which can range from fairly light as seen here to
a darker hue.

Sorry Pat. I didn't look far enough. It's in Sibley's. Calls it "chunky".
