I had a small bird fly down at my feet last evening then take off into the trees. I got a fairly good look at it, and I know for sure that it is one I have never seen before. It took off again before I could get a picture.
I'm not a professional birder or even a avid hobbyist anymore, so I don't know the proper terminology, but I'll do my best to describe it.
It looks like a warbler. right size, beak and body shape, etc. What is different is that it had an orange throat that bled down into his chest, dark brown/almost black body, white wing patches/bars` and a bit of a black cap that stretched down to his back. The orange was really orange until it reached his chest then blended into more of a yellowish tint. If it was a lot bigger, I'd say it resembled some Orioles in coloring.
Any ideas of what it might be?
