Captured this in New Mexico last year at the City Of Rocks. Anyone know what it is? I thought possibly a juvi roadrunner since a grown one was in the vicinity. Thanks in advance for all help.

Doug,
I believe this is a Canyon Towhee
I'd be tickled to see this species.

You are correct Lia, thank you very much. I had a head on shot of it and it matched a googled image almost perfectly.
