[attachment=1:1u3fg60j]IMG_8565.jpg[/attachment:1u3fg60j][attachment=1:1u3fg60j]IMG_8565.jpg[/attachment:1u3fg60j]After seeing this bird in my backyard I suspected it was a female house finch, though through further investigation Its' head markings looked more like a Clay-colored.  All suggestions are appreciated.

It does look good for a Clay-colored Sparrow. That is a very good yardbird.
