Crown Him, "White" (Zonotrichia leucophrys)

The first sighting of these guys this year.
I just realized looking through Photos of other w-c sparrow on BF that the west coast w-cs are gabelli race while mine is the nominate race w-c. Mine has the white eyestripe originating at the eye, while the gambelli's has the eyestripe originating at a yellow rather than pink bill.
