Immature white crown sparrow

Was not quite sure which sparrow was this, but decided on Field sparrow due to the slight pink on the upper beak. Which turned out to be wrong. Correct ID is immature white crown sparrow. Didn't follow my own advice which was to stay with F-8 and it shows.

Nice pose and overall composition. It appears on the larger image the head is just a little soft compared to other parts of the sparrow (focus point?). I always have had a hard time to get any close up sparrow shots, way to go.

Very nice, I like the colors in the immature sparrows. Fits very nicely with the background.
