Observation details

Feeding on anise in field below trail, near the entrance. Likely the same bird I found in Odello field on 19 Sep. Smallish sparrow with clean breast, boldly marked face (malar stripe, auriculars and eyebrow), pinkish bill, streaked crown and back, deeply notched tail, and gray patch on sides of nape. Poor photos.
