A sparrow stands on a fencepost. It has a warm rust-red in a streak on its head and in a patch on its cheek, and has stark black markings over a white base over the rest of its face.
A blurry photo of my first lark sparrow (Chondestes grammacus)! I love the colour patterns on their faces, and they're a nice example of the surprising diversity of sparrows.
