I do not think that the word "dowdy" is the right word for a bird's plumage. Merriam-Webster defines dowdy as "not neat or becoming in appearance, old fashioned" The main article refers to it as "less vibrant," which might be a better term to use. Obviously, this is the first time I am doing this. 67.222.114.42 (talk) 13:59, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You are probably right. I thought dowdy meant dull or unobtrusive, the opposite of flamboyant. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:40, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
