It looks like a female Eastern Towhee to me. Hope this helps.

JTF thanks for the compliment on the image, I was shooting with only a 250mm range so we had to sneak up on the birds.

You know this was taken in your area; Prince Edward Point is such a great birding area. This was my first visit but we took about 120 photos while we were there (mostly warblers, waxwings, flycatchers, and many cliff swallows). I'm not sure why but it seems like warblers and other visitors tend to hang out in Prince Edward county a little longer than they do here in Toronto. Beware if you are leery of snakes you should stay away though because the point was teeming with snakes.
