Here's the original reddit thread. in the comments they have a link to a video of it in a cage, chirping.
when not fluffed up it doesn't look as pine-coneish. it's likely just a good ground camo that looks pine-coney when fluffed up (see reply)

I've learnt a lot about non-Australian birds from the subreddit r/whatsthisbird. I can identify many US birds from a thumbnail. Today there were two that I didn't even need to look at the thumbnail for - the text was enough.
1. Mourning dove.
2. Road runner.
Both correct.

I posted to r/whatsthisbird and a hummer guy agrees. Thank you for the markers. 👍 As you can see I have already imaged one of these but that one was easier to ID. Also in CR but nearer Mt Arenal. Love that place.

It's funny too because I only became a regular Reddit user in the past few years! But subreddits like FossilID and whatsthisbird are mostly so nice and informative?
