Identified as a Rufous (vs Allen's) by the mostly rufous mantle, which I unfortunately wasn't able to photograph.
with some mexican ducks
with some other stuff calling (Verdin, quail)
An odd "chuck" call, which I've been trying to get a recording of for weeks. Not a call I hear from this species very often. Bird was at a window feeder, and the knocking noises are all of its bill hitting the feeder. Recorded from inside the house, so the sounds are a bit muted
Very odd location. Possibly not identifiably from these photos, but note plain gray body and face plumage, and in the flight photo the brown streaked back
