Hi,Actually it looks nothing like a female DEJ. It's throat, breast and belly were a creamy tan and the upper parts were a warm brown similar to the brown of a female towhee but a little darker. Later when I saw the five, I noticed that they didn't have white outer tail feathers. I guess I'll never know unless I see one again. I keep looking.

Hi Anita! It does sound like a female DEJ. I can't wait to see them. They're one of my favorites, although they signal the coming of cold weather. :) Jen
