- Comments: "sparrow slightly larger than chipping, with streaked front; white-ish malar hooking below eye around the  side of its face; and a bold, complete eye-ring.  very clear look at this bird before it got flushed by a raptor.  pathetic picture obtained as it was flying away.  you can just barely see blurry white eye-ring."
