I saw a couple of these when I went hiking in Crothers Wood Trail along Don River. Can someone help me ID the sparrow? Thank you.

I think Indigo Bunting, female or juvenile.

I concur with juvenile Indigo Bunting but it didn't strike me at first.
You manage to find something unusual and interesting even when
no one else is posting anything. Considering it is already the
of August I'm surprised that there has not been more sightings
and photos of juvenile migratory birds. The weather has certainly
been superb and reminiscent of many years ago. I've never managed
to get close enough to an Indigo Bunting with my 200mm lens to get a
good photo of this species. Are you still going out frequently?
