Hey birders, I saw a new backyard bird I need help confirming ID on. I'm in Seattle. It was on ground under our seed feeder with a small group of dark eyed juncos. Very pinky-orange chest with pale belly. Had dark (black?) spots on flanks - didn't notice
these right away. The crown was dotty but flanked by two black stripes that oddly (to me) went all the way down the back of the neck! The back was very orange/rusty and had deep broad black stripes. Bill was pale and triangular, without a curved culmen
or overlap at bill tip. The tail when it perched looked heart-shaped. I have some not fantastic photos through my scope and a video which has more diagnostic info, but I couldn't get a good shot of its back or the spots on its flanks before it flew away
- harassed by an Anna's. What do you think, please? Brambling? </div>
