Have a pair of these here in NW Arizona. Always around looking for bugs on ground and chirping. Dirty looking brown with pale yellow on underside. Around 7-8 inches in length. New to bird watching/identying and need a little help. Thanks

Welcome to Whatbird! I believe you have a California Towhee. Any other shots?

I think by range this should be the very similar Abert's Towhee

This actually looks like a Canyon Towhee - Abert's should have a dark face, and California would be darker overall. The range fits better for Abert's, I'll grant, but the plumage just doesn't fit.

Trying to carry camera to catch some shots..They appear to be in the line of towhee. These two out here are 'rough' looking and have been hanging around for about three years now. I'll try to catch better pics. Thanks for all your help
