Sparrow ID

[Larry Shuman]

I got this image this morning but my Sibleys is no help. Would any of you guys know if the bird is a juvenile sparrow of some type?

You can only see EXIF info for this image if you are logged in.

I think it's a female house sparrow.

Yes indeed.

Thanks guys. I'm not good at ID'ing birds and its really difficult in the fall with all the plumage changes.

Sparrows can be really challenging. For help I use the Merlin Bird ID app from Cornell. It's a life-saver! You can upload photos and have them ID it for you...because I like to use my sleuthing skills I use it as a last resort.
