What is a small bird with black cap with white streak down the black cap and blue gray upper wings with rust patch on breast?
Not knowing the size of the bird or the location it was found in (habitat and geographic) makes it a little bit harder to identify, but it is possible this could be a great kiskadee, one of the kingbirds, one of the vireos, a meadowlark, or a goldfinch. I really do not have enough info to answer your question. Was it a songbird or a waterbird? Did you see it in the forest or in the meadow? Do you live in D.C. or in Texas? I need to know a lot of stuff to be able to positively identify the bird. However, I can direct you to a good site for bird ID (See the related links).

How might the bright colors of poisonous species aid in survival?
Bright coloration on poisonous species is a warning (aposematic) color. The bright colors and patterns are easy reminders to potential predators to stay away. These organisms are able to move about without being attacked as much as other animals; this may help them gain an advantage over other animals that must spend time hiding or blending in.Some predators avoid bright colors instinctively.For example: The poisonous and brightly colored coral snake has repeating pattern of red, yellow, and black bands. Certain birds (like the turquoise-brown motmot and great kiskadee flycatcher) have been shown to avoid coral snake-like patterns instinctively. Predators had to learn to avoid these poisonous animals or die. Overtime, natural selection favored those animals who avoided poisonous prey and doing so became part of their instinctive nature.In other situations some poisonous animals are sacrificed for each generation of predators.For example: A predatory bird eats a poisonous, bright orange butterfly and then gets a stomach ache and regurgitates (throws up) the butterfly. The bright orange of the butterfly catches the bird's attention and it remembers that those will make him sick. The bird didn't die but won't eat anymore butterflies that look like the one he ate; that one butterfly was sacrificed for the others in the population to survive. This will be repeated for every new bird in the community; as long as there is a healthy population of butterflies the sacrifices are beneficial to the species.
