I'm sure this bird will be an easy ID for someone out there, but we can't seem to get it.
We saw it on Amherst Island Wednesday near the KFN property.  It flitted around on the road in front of our van for a few seconds then posed nicely on this fence.

I am thinking a snow bunting, but not positive for sure.

Here's the correct link for the bird we saw on Amherst.  I also think it's a Snow Bunting.

It's a winter plumaged snow bunting ,seen flocks of them before on Amherst ,can get quite tame and be easy photo subjects
