This little critter was warbling away up on the power lines this morning.
Is this a robin? It has a reddish breast but also a fair amount of white lower down. A female? The bill is yellowish with a black tip like what robins have. But I’ve never heard this exact song before. Here is some video (low quality, sorry!) I shot to capture the sound. If you recognize the bird from its song, can you please let me know what it is?

That absolutely is a robin, a male. They have a large white patch on their lower bellies and under the tail, but you don’t see it while they’re on the ground — only from below such as this or while they’re in flight. They can actually be a bit tricky to identify by sound; there’s a lot of regional variation. Cornell’s All About Birds site has enough examples to recognize this one, though.
