I’m new to birding so I just want to say thank you in advance for any tips ID’ing this bird.

Spotted today around dusk in Beverly Hills, CA.

I didn’t get a recording of the bird’s call, so I only have this picture to go off of. My best guess is California Towhee - is that correct?

Whether it is correct or not, which features are most relevant to ID’ing this bird? What stands out to me is the contrast of the white in its tail.
