Baby Who?

[Ferne Dalton]

Made this new little birdie jump as I was walking in the local woods
today. He can't fly yet but he/she did quite a good job of hopping
into the lower reaches of a tree. Haven't a clue what he is. Picture
is muddy but I didn't want him to use up anymore energy so I stayed
on the path. Seems to be a touch of yellow underneath his rump in
every picture I took and a blackish or grayish blotch under the chin.
Pinkish legs. Stout looking beak, but maybe they all are at this
stage. Any ideas?

Ferne,
Falkland

My initial reaction was Junco, Ferne. But I don't know what to make of the yellowish undertail coverts.

Okay, thanks Rick...I will put it down as a baby Junco then. I
googled other pictures and they look more or less the same, minus the
hint of yellow...maybe just a trick of the light which was pretty low,
so I had cranked up the ISO to a higher than normal level.
