Lark Bunting (Calamospiza melanocorys)

I found this Lark Bunting at the Rio Salado Habitat Project near downtown Phoenix, who fed amongst a small flock of Lark Sparrows.  This is the Lark Bunting's winter plumage, as the breeding females look similar and the males are almost entirely black in breeding plumage.
