Not really sure what this is. Any ideas? Taken yesterday in Seattle.
I wish I could provide better images. Thanks Doug |

I was thinking it had Junco characteristics but the whitish head threw me. I did have some normal looking Oregon Juncos at another feeder about 10 feet away at the same time along with Pine Siskens and Black Capped Chickadees.

Agree with leucistic Junco.
KC - Winter brings the Junco hordes! They do prefer to be on the ground, but I regularly have one or two eating at the tube feeder (niger), and occasionally on the suet as well. |

Our winter juncos come freely to the feeders. There will usually be three or four on the feeder, and twenty or more on the ground underneath.

Mine go for the millet (low platform feeder), but occasionally visit the sunflower feeder to look for chips. I haven't seen them on the peanuts or the niger.
