The Oven Bird

He matches the leaf litter that he's digging in.  He's an Oven Bird, the subject of one of Robert Frost's most depressing poems. (see here)

 

Oven bird

"There us a singer everyone has heard,

Loud, a mid-summer and a mid-wood bird,

Who makes the solid tree trunks sound again."

I studied Robert Frost's poem about the Oven Bird years ago in college.  But this was the first time I actually saw one.
