I think the rusty brown would extend further down on the flank of an Oregon although the back and hood are quite convincing. How's that for a non-committal response? Someone in the forum recently noted how variable Juncos can be.

There are those intermediate/mixed "Cassiar" Juncos also. This one definitely looks like it has "Oregon" genes in it, but I'm not sure whether it's pure or not.

Probably thinking you had food.

Nice catch.
