Let's see how you fare. Can you ID this bird? (For the sake of scale, I photographed it with my 58mm lens cap, in order to get some sense of its size.)

Eastern Towhee juvenile. Worked it out my own by picking my head. Finch head stands out right away. The white in the bird's wings and tail puts towhee in mind, as I cant think of anything else that would have finch head with white like that in tail and wings (not a grosbeak obviously). Also the fact that it was in the woods makes me say EATO.
I have to go along with Donald;
the tail, the wing patch, the
beak, all point to Eastern
Towhee juvenile to me. By the
way, I'm getting close with a
couple of those moths--down to
family and genus. With my limited
resources I can't say for sure
if I'll get them down to species.
