Junco hyemalis
Chubby little sparrows that spend most of their time hopping around the ground looking for food. They vary in colors across the country, this one being brownish gray with a black head.
Slightly forested area
Thank you to Robert for the verification :)
No I've never seen the Latin terminology extend beyond the species ID. It would be classified as Junco hyemalis. There are about 5 subspecies of Juncos that haven't been classified as separate species yet.
Good guess :) I live in South GA and this has been a nemesis for me. This will be the year ;)
