Observation details

Towhee mated pair didn’t seem to fit either species. One bird looked more like a CATO while other more like ABTO. Calls heard were more like ABTO but some sounded odd (also at least one other ABTO in area). Photos not great but one can see some differences in the two mated birds. Would appreciate additional input.
