Beautiful bird with red eyes, a black hood and wings, white breast and rufous sides. Females have a brown hood. There are white spots on the wings, giving it its name.

Thanks again, EnvUnlimited.
They sure are, Joshua! I smile whenever I hear them rustling in the leaves with their sweet sounds but an ecstatic when I get a glimpse!
They're real shy aren't they?!
Thank you EnvUnlimited. That's the worst when you spot something without a camera! Hope you catch it next time :)
That's awesome!
A lovely bird!
