I took this picture today of a bird that I am wondering about. Is it a Golden-Crowned Sparrow?   |

Found two more pennies down the back of the couch so I can afford to agree with daddyhominum. ;D
Those stripes on either side of the pale throat can sure make you look twice.
White-throats are a smaller and a bit brighter/warmer of similar sparrows (WCSP, GCSP) while the golden-crowneds are husky and large and more of a grey and a bit duller.
Hope my ID tricks are helpful!
