Re: [cobirds] Unidentified Sparrow at my feeder - can anyone identify? Littleton, CO

[Deb Carstensen]

I vote for a tree sparrow. Could it be a juvenile or molting bird? It has so many other the tree sparrow characteristics. Deb Carstensen, Littleton

This bird has been hanging around my feeder, feeds only on the ground,, usually in the company of juncos.  Kind of like a Tree Sparrow (definitely has a two-tone bill), but the rusty cap is not solid, only a streak.  http://www.flickr.com/photos/90053206@N08/with/8179562686/

 

thanks in advance

Looks like a Song Sparrow, albeit a dark one.

The bicolored bill makes it an American Tree Sparrow in my book.

The crown is also right for a winter plumaged American Tree Sparrow.
