These snapshots,
taken with my little point-and-shoot, show some of the field marks,
including the complex facial markings around the brown ear patch,
the white tips to the wing coverts, and brown back.

right, note size comparison with juv. Song Sparrow
The following two
photos were taken by holding the camera pressed against the ocular
of my spotting scope and show a little more detail of the facial
and breast markings. Note the relatively large bill, especially
in the first shot.
