RustyE Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Sparrows always get me. Please help me ID this one, or is this a female House Finch? BLAH!!! Taken Feb 28, 2020 In Kaufman County Texas.

akandula Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) That's a Lincoln's Sparrow. Note the gray face, buffy malar, and thin streaks overlaid with buff. House Finches would have stouter, more conical beaks and blurrier streaking. Edited March 29, 2020 by akandula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyE Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 Thank You Akandula! That was one of my guesses, but the only picture I had ever taken of one the coloring was much darker. But then it could have been the exposure fooling me. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
