[Douglbirds] Help to identify a bird

[Carolyne Parfit]

We are in "old" Larkspur, Fox Farm Rd. I have a small sparrow/finch size bird on my driveway that has been sitting there for over an hour. Appears stunned. Can't identify...It has a longish tail feathers with a thumb size bright red spot on the back just where the tail begins. It has red on its head and breast. It appears to have striping like a pine siskin in the back, white wing bars, and a light short pointed beak. I'm not good at this but can't find in my books. 

Does anyone have an idea. He is moving around some, but no attempt to fly yet. I'd love to hear back if you have any ideas. We have lots of different birds, but this is a first on this one.

  If you've wanted to see White-faced Ibis, this is the day to go to Walker
  Road in Franktown.  The flooded field on the west side of the road is the
  foraging fround for 57, give or take a couple, at noon today.

  Also, visited Kingery's neighbor and an Ovenbird was singing repeatedly.
  Also saw Western Tanager, Lazuli Bunting, Evening and Black-headed grosbeaks
  - those colorful migrants that Urling and Hugh have been writing about in
  recent days.  

  In addition, heard Yellow Warblers in Castlewood Canyon.
