Could someone please confirm that this is a Lark Sparrow?

Sorry- not a Lark Sparrow.
Lark Sparrow is a rare visitor to Ontario from the west. There have only been 3 reported this year.

Female/ house sparrow is my 2 cents worth.

I'd venture a guess at female R.Br.Grosbeak. The thickness of bill suggests....I'm not sure about the pink feet though.

Good spotting! Never leave your bins at home.

The head sure makes me think female cowbird but with the single white wing bar and red feet I'm with Faltorvo, female house sparrow.
What's the size? Sparrow/finch or robin/jay?
Tom.

I agree with the House Sparrow, but the head looks weird.

Thanks for the information. I thought it could be something els because the bird looked larger then a House Sparrow and a different head.

Looks like a female rose-breasted to me... pretty massive bill and distinct markings. Sure like one to come visit our feeders!

The bill doesn't look like a Grosbeak bill... I would expect a Grosbeak to have a stubbier bill and also a stronger white line above the eye.
I'll have to look thru the Sibley's later.
edit: I'd go with a female House sparrow. Maybe it's a cross with a Savannah?
