Title: unknown sparrow
Post by: nkwali on May 08, 2014, 05:03:12 PM

I'm guessing white-throated sparrow, but the stripes around the eyes are dull not white. Any confirmation? Or other possibility?

Thank you.

You've got it right with White-throated Sparrow.  This would be a "first winter" bird, not in full colour yet.
