I've seen this bird on the summits before, but have no idea what it is.
It looks well fed.

Yup...got some nice pictures of them when we went to acadia...they didn't appear to be too scared of me.

An old timer I once knew referred to them as "stupid little juncos" because of their habit of always being practically under foot.

You might have heard this guy singing. It is a bell like trill. There song is as common as the white throated sparrow through out the mountain region.
I just saw some in Washington State...same species but a very different look. The oregon and slate colored (what you have) subspecies was considered sperate species. Then afte DNA analysis they (AOU) lumped them all together making us go out and by more bird books.
