I was able to identify the fragmentary bird with some certainty, and found out a few minutes later that I'd been right when it returned and showed me most of the rest of itself. I think a white-throat would appear broader-tailed, duller-winged, and above all noticeably larger than this bird. And as I ponder, I don't think I've ever seen a White-throated Sparrow perch on a feeder like this--you?
