I have seen a bird at feeder in my yard that I have been trying to identify. My husband and I have seen this bird (singly) just recently four or five days. The closest we have come to a comparable bird is Orange Billed Sparrow from South America. The bird we've seen is the size of a White Crown Sparrow. The most notable feature is the bright, very thick orange bill. It has a black crown, whitish throat and black and white striped back. I hope someone else has seen this bird and will let us know the identity. Thanks for your help.
