this bird has been showing up at my back porch feeder for weeks now,
intermittently, but has successfully eluded my camera every time until today.
Pictures taken through glass window, so not too sharp, but close enough for
some detail.

If you get a white box asking you to sign in, just click the X , top right
corner.

Bird is on the small side, smaller than Song or White-throated Sparrows,
perhaps a little larger than a Chipping Sparrow. Very heavily streaked
breast, but no central spot. Indistinct white lines on the face but no markings
at all on the cap. Not ringing a bell at all with me.
