    Ugh, much harder than I expected. 24 species of sparrow in your state, many quite variable in appearance. Posted one month ago

      Yes, and this one was wet, which may have skewed colors. I don't know if it is adult, juvenile, male, or female. Posted one month ago

        I was hoping the the dark beak would be a hint but could not link it to a single species. Posted one month ago
