A little bird flew in my class via a window today, and i want to know what type of bird it was. Sorry, i don't have pictures, but i can describe it:
-it had a thin curved beak about 1.5 cm long,
-it had yellow cheeks
-brown-and-tan speckled body and wings, with
-cream belly, and
-was about 6 cm in total (an estimate)
Thanks if you can identify it.

Well, you never know how invasive a species can be!

Bowerbirds of any species have never been invasive species. This one is even listed as endangered in some part of Australia.

UPDATE:
I actually don't think it had a curved beak, and I remember it had a yellow belly. Maybe a female Common Yellowthroat or a Yellow Warbler.

Also, it wasn't a flicker, those are too big. It could also have been a migratory specie.
