Not too sure what this junco is. It was hanging out with a flock of slates and oregons. Not a slate-coloured. I'm stuck between female Oregon, pink-sided, and cismontanus. If anyone a little more experienced can identify that would be great. link |

Ah yes, it's a Dark-eyed Junco  Subspecies? Not worth much distinguishing them IMO unless they look distinctly different. I would have passed your bird off as being a female Oregon type, but I see that might not be the case... If you trust everything on eBird, this cismontanus bird looks very similar to yours: macaulaylibrary.org/asset/309294341But female oregon looks about the same... macaulaylibrary.org/asset/381668011It's not Pink-sided though. That would show much brighter sides/flanks. |

I would agree with female Oregon.

I'm going with female cismontanus. Based on the fact cismontanus seems to have a gray vent, compared to the oregons white vent.
