Hello all, thanks everyone in advance for answering...Is this a White-throated Sparrow" - possibly a juvenile? I did get a WTSP on my Merlin...dark neck however is thowing me off! Pic taken today in Lilac bushes.

Yes, White-throated Sparrow. The posture is scrunching up the neck and obscuring the white throat, which will be less evident anyway as this is a "tan morph"

It's an adult; there aren't any juveniles at this time of year.
