A California quail, Callipepla californica,
with the shadow of a pigeon (passenger pigeon?) behind it,
as portrayed in tiles on the walls of the NYC uptown subway stop
(A-B-C) at 81st and Central Park West. (ISO, no zoom, no flash).

One of the few subway stations where I don't mind waiting for a train. If I remember correctly, the silhouettes are of extinct species.
I guess that shadow is a passenger pigeon.
