Had a new bird show up in the yard today. It looks like a type of sparrow, but not a house sparrow. It was traveling alone, and larger than a bunting, but smaller than a cardinal. It has two distinct broad brown streaks on the top of the head with a buff stripe in between; dark brown or black line behind the eyes. The underside - chin, chest, belly is buff colored and white wing bars. It was eating black oil sun flower seeds. Any ideas? I have some pics, but don't know how/where to upload them.
