Zonotrichia albicollis
These small sparrows are about 15 to 19 cm (5.9 to 7.5 in) in length. There are two color variations: a tan-striped and a white-striped. These refer to the color of the strips on the face. This is probably a young bird whose coloration is still coming in so it may be difficult to tell at this stage which color version this bird is.
Summer range extends from central Canada to the New England states in mountain or boreal forests. They winter in southern and eastern U.S. and the Canada Maritime Provinces.
