Observation details
Well-seen and photographed; Rob Bielawski spotted it, also watched and photographed at the same time. Lovely but subtle. Pinkish bill, upper mandible dark-toned on top. Overall appearance quite pale and more bronze-buff, less rusty brown-toned than most other sparrows (including young chipping, recently seen, photographed and studied for comparison.) Contrasting silvery gray nape collar; pale eyebrow and thin dark "mustache" bordering contrasting white malar stripe; dark eyeline behind eye but not continuing forwards of eye; pale lores. Buffy cheek and beautiful streaky crown with pale center complete the contrasty head pattern.
