Thanks Pat. I thought Junco right away, but there is no slate colour on the wings at all that I could see. Just light brown on tan brown with black on the wings a bit.
My birder book does not show a Junco, even a female one with this colouration. Maybe I will ask for a new birder book for Christmas. : )   Paul
