I have a devil of a time ID'ing Sparrows, for some reason. I guess I'm Sparrow-blind.
I shot these two images fields near Columbus, Ohio last week. When I was shooting, I assumed one (the profile shot) was a Field Sparrow but noticed when seeing the image that the bird didn't have the pink beak. I thought the other (with the front facing the camera) was a Song Sparrow, but it doesn't have the white throat surrounded by dark stripes. (Hey, I'm getting better. I can recognize what these birds aren't. I just can't identify what they are).
Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.
