What is this bird -- Eastern Towhee (Pipilo erythrophthalmus)

I found this bird dead.
I think it is a American Redstart.
Can you tell me what it is?
I really want to know what it is.

Thanks

The eastern towhee (Pipilo erythrophthalmus) is a large New World sparrow. Their breeding habitat is brushy areas across eastern North America. They nest either low in bushes or on the ground under shrubs. Northern birds migrate to the southern United States.
