Spizella passerina
This Chipping Sparrow his feathers are a combination of dark and light shades of brown and gray. Small rusty cap on head, and black line behind eye.
Nice find Jennifer. Though this little sparrow looks similar to a House Sparrow, take a look at that lovely rusty red cap and black line through the eye.
