I couldn't place it either, and after I found out what it was, it turns
out to be a perfect example of why I hate drawings...well maybe dislike
strongly...:-D :-D It depends on the artist I guess.
It took a little googling (but since it is raining outside, and I have
nothing to do but watch the purple finches that are still coming to my
feeder...), and thanks to a readers comment on the Huffington Post, I
found it...a Great Crested Flycatcher...now have you ever seen a GCF
with a blue throat? Here is the plate, which I found at the New York
Public Library, that Google used for their rendition:

Audubon's colors are almost spot on, a little blue, but I think that it
is a reflection of the watercolor paints of the time and not the
artist. I think that Google with photoshop or other type program, went
a little too blue with their saturation slider. :-D
Have a great Day!
