is this a chipping sparrow, or am I looking at the wrong illustration in the field guide again...? Someone got an ID on this one?

Thanks! I'm never sure when it comes to sparrows. There must be fifty variations.

Not much bigger than a chickadee, actually.

That should be a good one I have one of them also. It might be a good idea to look at the "key features" ( the little arows pointing at certain parts of the bird. That way even on tough groups (Like Sparrows) You can pretty much get it right.
