Is that a juvie Marc, or do the adults have that yellow on the bill base?

That's one beautiful sparrow, isn't it. And a super picture you've taken of him too - very well done lad.

My understanding is the white-crowned sparrow of any age can have a pinkish or yellow bill. I'm not sure if that's regional or just regular variation.

I classify it as an immature from the head coloring. It is still brown and has not darkened into the black stripes.
