That's really a pretty little bird; the sparrows here are not nearly as nicely marked.

Good shot!

Until about a year ago, I thought all little brown birds were sparrows. Not true, of course, but it's been interesting to discover that while a lot of little brown birds really are sparrows, there are lots of different sparrows, some quite pretty, like this one. Nice shot. Thanks for sharing.
