I am NOT an artist, so please be merciful toward my drawing. I used the crayons and pencils that I bought for my nephew's visit when he was 5. OK, I got a good look at this bird on Saturday. Didn't have my camera but thought I noted enough distinguishing features to ID, but I haven't been able to do so. Here is what I know for sure:

1) two white conspicuous wing bars
2) very bright dark yellow chin and breast -- glowed on a cloudy day
3) eye-line that I immediately compared to a Carolina Wren when I saw it -- cream/yellow colored and coloring around it rust/brown
4) white undertail coverts
5) smaller than sparrows around it but not by too much. I would say 5" in size

Any ideas? Thanks!
