New York - Sparrow identification (1 Viewer)

[LucaPCP]

Dear All,

what is the sparrow in the attached image? It was seen in NY.
I am not an expert of East Coast birds...and it does not seem to match
any of the sparrows I have looked up (but of course there are juvenile forms, etc).

Any advice? Many thanks!

Luca

Is it a female house sparrow, even though the head markings are not so clear?

It's a freshly-moulted male House Sparrow.

House Sparrow for me as well.
