Close... it's a juvenile white-crowned.

Cheers

Immature, but no longer a juvenile.

Very timely. I've had one under my feeder for a few days. My field guide refers to it as a 'first winter' bird. I'm STILL waiting for the white crowned and white throated adults to make their fall appearance (but I'm not holding my breath!). :)
