Song sparrow

Melospiza melodia

Description:

I first thought this might be a rare spotting of a Redwing (Turdus iliacus). But I'm now leaning toward a Song sparrow.

Habitat:

Spotted in thick brush along one of the trails at the Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge.

Nice spotting.:) I too lean towards Song Sparrow - except your bird is darker than the song sparrows I see here on the east coast...
