Blackie, the Suicidal Rufous Sided Towhee?

My dear friend Barbara pointed out to me that Blackie - previously known as "Blackie, the Sucidal Robin"- is really Blackie, the suicidal Rufous Sided Towhee.  I think she is right.  My friends Lorraine & Liz have also agreed that they don't think Blackie is a robin either.

Here's a picture of a Rufous Sided Towhee:

Props to Mr. Dave Dube on Photonet for this beautiful photo.  I'm used to seeing a face like this either peeking in or beating his head into my windows.

Here's a picture of a robin (there are many types):

And here's a picture of a Bernese Mountain Dog:

OK....I added the Berner not only because they are the exact same colors but because they are awesome!
