We identified the Slate-colored Junco in my back yard while I was growing up. We call them "snow birds". They look striking against the snow with their dark backs and heads and their light bellies. We don't see them in the Summer but have been seeing them on the patio since October hopping and skittering about. They seem especially interested in the coleus seeds.
Tennessee's Watchable Wildlife has information, including a range map. The photo at the top of the post is in the public domain and was found at Wikipedia.
