I have been trying to ID this bird and need some help. I think it may be a finch of some type, but the faint yellow around the eye is confusing me.

Savannah Sparrow, it looks like a nice shot but would have to be posted larger to critique well. :toast:

Hello Dave

Larger size image would be better, but looks quite sharp with excellent background

Probably a good picture, but definitely too small to critique adequately.

Looks to me it might be a Savannah Sparrow, but hard to tell with not having a larger version of the shot and any information on where it was taken.

Looks like a very nice Savannah sparrow, but would love to see it larger. Sharon
