New bird to my yard. Looks like a sparrow, sparrow body with a little white on the wing, the face is a blue/gray with like a sinle brown/tan stipe on the head(front to back).

EDIT: The blue gray is on the head around the eye, it almost appears to have a black line continue from the eye as if eye liner make-up.

EDIT #2: Seen just a few minutes ago in Cental Nebraska USA with a fresh 4 inches of snow.

Sounds a bit like a young White-crowned Sparrow.

Possibly a golden-crowned sparrow, or a young white-crowned.

except the eye liner color is black. but the white on the wing is exactly it, breast color aswell, just the eye liner color.... could it still be the American Tree Sparrow? not a white crowned, I am familiar with them.
