Lark Sparrow (Chondestes grammacus)

One of the song centered sparrows and one of the larger amoung other sparrows: it is also one of the least social amoung mixed groups of sparrows. None the less, it is one of my favorites. They are a dimorphous sparrow; it is very difficult to determine between the sexes.
