Hi all,

I was recently on Artie's fantastic Bosque IPT and got a couple of shots of some birds for which I do not have an ID.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Per-Gunnar- Am very envious of your trip to Bosque.

This is an immature White-crowned Sparrow. Notice the head patterning which is similar to the adult you posted behind this post.

Ah ha! I did initially think it was the same bird but the different colouration threw me.

Many thanks.

By the way, I had to take this hand-held at 840mm as I had no time to get the tripod out...
