Can someone help me identify this bird?
Photo taken in July in Big Horn Mountains of Wyoming.
It's about the size of a sparrow.

Welcome to the forum,

It's a dark-eyed Junco, as to which sub-species I'm not sure but I will guess at either Pink-sided or Oregon Junco.

Also, since you are new here, just a heads up that you should put the location on the bird in question inside the title of your thread. A lot of the members would really appreciate it. :t:

Best,
Matt

I think it's a Dark-eyed Junco of the Pink-sided subspecies.

Thank you both for your insights. It's very hard to tell it apart from the oregon junco, but I lean towards the pink sided as well.

Thanks for the info, I'll try to remember to include location in title in the future.
