The taxonomy of the towhees has been debated in recent decades, and until 1995 this bird and the eastern towhee were considered a single species, the rufous-sided towhee. [2] Another outdated name for the spotted towhee is the Oregon towhee (Pipilo maculatus oregonus). The call may be harsher and more varied than for the eastern towhee.
Adults have rufous sides, a white belly, and a long dark tail with white edges. The eyes are red for most populations, though populations in the southeastern U.S. have yellow eyes – often referred to as the "white-eye morph." [12] Males have a black head, upper body, and tail; these parts are brown in the female. Juveniles are brown overall.
Two species complexes have been identified, the rufous-sided complex (involving Pipilo erythrophthalmus, P. maculatus, P. socorroensis, P. ocai and P. chlorurus), and the brown towhee complex (involving Melozone crissalis, M. fusca, M. aberti and M. albicollis). The distinction of species within these is uncertain and opinions have differed ...

The red slug (Arion rufus), also known as the large red slug, [3] chocolate arion [4] and European red slug, [5] is a species of land slug in the family Arionidae, the roundback slugs. Description [ edit ]
Rufous (/ ˈ r uː f ə s /) is a color that may be described as reddish-brown or brownish-red, as of rust or oxidised iron. [1] The first recorded use of rufous as a color name in English was in 1782. [2] However, the color is also recorded earlier in 1527 as a diagnostic urine color. [3]
The expense of color film as compared to black-and-white and the difficulty of using it with indoor lighting combined to delay its widespread adoption by amateurs. In 1950, black-and-white snapshots were still the norm. By 1960, color was much more common but still tended to be reserved for travel photos and special occasions.
