Looks like a Field Sparrow. Pink bill, white eye-ring and the right facial pattern. Maybe the “cutest” of the sparrows in my opinion.

My Birding Big Year results as of February 2026
#269 species of birds.

23 new lifers including the pictured Zone-tailed Hawk.
Visited 23 counties in Texas and 2 counties in Florida.

Israel & Saudi Arabia pushed the U.S. to attack Iran.

Netanyahu killed 72,000 people in Gaza, mostly women & children.

Saudi Arabia is a brutal dictatorship that allows no opposition.

These are the leaders who want to bring “freedom” to Iran?

Does anyone really believe that?
