Sparrow ID Help
I believe this to be a Song Sparrow but not sure, any feedback would be appreciated. Taken at Sweetwater Wetlands in Tucson.
Thanks,
Jim

this one's a Song Sparrow, with a mixture of rufous and gray tones, a streaky breast, and a rounded tail. they are really variable in terms of how dark and/or colorful they are, but always show that same overall pattern.

Ditto Brian's comment.
