Observation details
Overall seemed paler and more rufous than other song sparrows I've seen. Thick whitish-gray superciliums with matching malars, two rufous crown stripes separated with pale grayish medial crown line, rufous post ocular line, thin white eyerings, pale gray cheek with rufous lower border line, clean whitish-gray throat, rufous "pin mark" on breast with sparse rufous streaks, rufous throughout wings and tail, gray rump. Perched to sing. Beginning of song similar to other song sparrows I've heard, but ending of song had more zee notes. Lots of variation with song sparrows - this may be incorrect. I welcome feedback. Multiple photos.
