Junco hyemalis
Medium to small-sized bird with black eyes and pinkish brown bill. That pictured appears to be a male, with a black head. Some females may have similar markings...but with a more grayish head, per the Sibley guide.
This bird was spotted in Pine Creek Canyon in the Spring Mountains in southern Nevada. The canyon has conifer and hardwood trees, adjacent to the Mojave Desert.
