First time I've spotted one of these.  I'm leaning towards Fox Sparrow, please confirm.

Thanks,

Tom.



Again, apologies for the poor image quality, it was quite dark this morning when I took it.

Yes, it's a Fox Sparrow.  I don't often see them in the fall, and in the spring they come through over a very brief period in April.  They're one of our largest sparrows (almost Thrush sized).

Thanks,

It was quite large.  As it was flying back and forth I thought it was a juvi cardinal until it landed and I grabbed my camera.

Tom.
