Looks as though you have a morphed LBJ of some sort?
Don't have my "Sibley" handy to help you.

I am no expert on American birds but this is not a sparrow of any kind. Try looking at the icterid section of your books.

is it a bobolink?

I don't think it is a Bobolink, but along those lines. Maybe a Red-winged Blackbird?

Looking at Sibley's now...It's a female Red-winged Blackbird!

It most certainly is a female Red-winged Blackbird and a good representation to boot.

Thanks guys, off to re-check SIbley's under RWB ... shot in an area with a lot of sparrows, perhaps that's what set me off in sparrow direction ...

cheers,

This bird had me going for the longest time when I first started birding!
