Sparrow ID
I live in southern Alberta, and shot this photo of this sparrow lately southeast of Calgary. I am not sure as to the ID. Thanks.

That bird looks like he just changed every feather yesterday - so crisp and new! Very nice photo. (I like the head on one too, though it is scarily symmetrical.)

And welcome to the forum!
