I will concur with WEFL and suggest Rufous-crowned Sparrow for your consideration.

Good local bird alert! I was finishing up work and a WhatsApp alert came across the wire that an AMERICAN DIPPER was seen not 15 minutes prior and only 8 minutes from where I was! I raced over to find a friend already on-scene and we began a vigil. He soon left and I remained. 10 minutes later…

Snow Bunting in Hayward, CA on 11/17/24. Very accommodating to the cameras. Toasted marshmallows, anyone?

Sure! Thanks!
