There was also a sparrow that I had a lot of trouble identifying, predominantly red/rust back and coverts with red/rust striping on the breast, head was grey with what might have been some red/rust around the eye. My light was bad, and my field-guide wasn't helping, and I'm still trying to sort out sparrows. Thoughts?
