I'm terrible at sparrow IDs, but this one caught my attention yesterday. Unfortunately, pics were taken through a window on a very cloudy day. I have four pics i think. Here's the first.

Blurry but you can see yellow on the face. Actually, I think this is the last shot I got before it flew away, so 3 not 4 shots!

There is a fourth shot after all! I didn't want to open the photo software, so I could see these photos before posting b/c it keeps jamming up my computer. Anyway, this one is very blurry, but you can see the yellow above the eyes better.
