: Small bird comming to my feeder during the last week. Small beak, brown in color on the top. The breast however is a checkered white/black pattern and the lower part of the body underneath is light yellow. I have not heard it make any sounds. Small in size, may be 2-3 inches long.
It could be a Nutmeg Mannikin, check out page 456 in National Geographic Birds of North America.
Good luck.
