Mystery bird, need help IDing

15 years ago

Hello all:

This morning a mystery bird appeared at my suet feeder and I'm having trouble figuring out what it is. I've searched the web to try and find information on it, or an image and have been unsuccessful. Which leads me to this post. If you know what kind of bird this is, please let me know. It's the size of a finch. It has a small yellow stripe on the very top of it's head, yellow on it's side just under where the wings rest, and a yellow spot on it's back just above the tail. I have attached a picture. Any information you could provide in helping me identify this bird, would be appreciated. Thanks.

Looks like a Sedum which would love more light. Hard to say which species, but with more light, should have more compact growth (& a better chance at getting a positive ID on it--could even be an xGraptosedum).

You should try the local Tropicals forum or UBC Botanic Gardens Forum. I'm especially interested in this 'Lagerstroemia' thing. Here is a link that might be useful: Tropicals Forum
