Hi all. Forgive me for asking about what is probably an easy identification for all you veterans, but I'm just not able to pin this.
I saw this bird today by the Mill River in Hamden Connecticut. The area has thickets and fairly open decidious wood with lower swampy areas bordering the Mill River.
The bird appeared to be about sparrow-sized. I apologize for the pictures all sharing more or less the same angle. He flew off as I tried to carefully make my way around to the front. I have some guesses, but without some obvious field markings or other give-aways, I'm struggling.
Thanks for looking!
