Zonotrichia leucophrys (Forster, 1772)
Adults are 18 cm (7 in) long and have black and white stripes on their head, a gray face, brown streaked upper parts and a long tail. The wings are brown with bars and the underparts are gray. Their bill is pink or yellow. They are similar in appearance to the white-throated sparrow but do not have the white throat markings.
Their breeding habitat is brushy areas across northern Canada and the western United States.
This bird was found in my backyard on my feeder. Has been bak several times.
