Guide to North American Birds. Spotted Towhee. A widespread towhee of the West, sometimes abundant in chaparral and on brushy mountain slopes. For many years it was considered to belong to the same species as the unspotted Eastern Towhees found east of the Great Plains, under the name of Rufous-sided Towhee.

It often is first noticed because of the sound of its industrious scratching in the leaf-litter under dense thickets.
