Found in southwestern Montana in July among the sage (near a creek). the lack of dark eyeline has me wondering. Thanks!

This is a Lincoln's Sparrow. More expected in the Montanan highlands, note the gray face and the buffy mallar.

I’m not good with sparrows. Just wanted to remind you that per forum rules the location needs to be in the thread title. We ask this so birders familiar with the birds in the area will look and hopefully be able to help with an answer. No need to change this one, just for later. Thanks.
