Attention, bird-watchers: We need your help!
Robert Abraham of Christiansburg saw this unidentified bird on the Huckleberry Trail. He sent it out to several avid 'birders' who think it might be some kind of hybrid. Can you tell us what species the bird is? You can leave a comment below.
Or maybe you have your own photographic unsolved mystery - post it up online by sending it to us at newriver@roanoke.com.
The bird looks like a domestic society finch who has flown the coop! Search online for pictures of them; they is a lot of variation in color and pattern. Hope this helps.
