Saw this bird in our backyard. It is grey with black but the strange thing is the head is completely orange. With the flash on it looks yellow but with the naked eye it is orange. Have never seen this before and could not find it in the books. He was in a cranberry bush and seemed to be eating the seeds. He was not really scared of me which seemed strange so maybe he is sick. Was puffy from either the cold or being sick. However, the other birds that day were not puffy. The temp was about -14 Celsius. I am in Prince George British Columbia which is central/northern BC. Would have loved a picture without the puffiness but....

I have a gray bird flying into windows of my home, a small bathroom window most of the time from a branch about 2 feet away. It also sits on the ledge

Bird is largish, has coloring of a female duck, spiky beak, and seems to prefer to run than to fly.
