strange bird, not a robin

Look up the Towhee and see if that's it.
They scratch around in leaf debris.  
I don't see them often here but did see one this last weekend.

.............. 
 I viewed 2 birds in my garden this early morn I have never seen 
before.  I first I thought they were extremely fat robins but not.  The 
breast is a very dk burnt orange/red (darker than robins) , very rounded 
plump body with black feathers (I would describe a robin as brown) except
for 
the breast area.  Tail feathers are shorter more narrow than a robin. 
Must 
get my bird book out & try to decide what it may be.
Only $9.95 per month!
