Another American vagrant found during lockdown that fortunately remained until we could go and see it at Barcombe Cross, East Sussex. Like all American "sparrows" it is actually a bunting, but also like nearly all American sparrows it has a colourful head pattern along with an assortment of wing-bars, contrasting tramlines on its mantle and a generally perky appearance. Plus its properly rare in Britain! Smart bird, much appreciated.
