More kinds of birds have visited our yard this winter than in past years. This is a newcomer with a speckled breast and a plainer back. I couldn't get close enough for a good shot, only for an ID-possible shot.

Thank you too, Beekeeper.

I initially thought the bird was too big to be a sparrow, but the all-knowing Web says these are large sparrows.

Thanks. I've seen just one. Wondering whether it has a nest and a mate.
