Five-striped sparrow. I posted one of these a few years back, but showing a different perspective with these two. On e to show the five stripes.

The Five-stripe is, first of all, a very rare bird in Arizona, with maximum counts of fewer than 50 territorial males each nesting season. Almost all of these inhabit a handful of nearly inaccessible canyons in the rugged terrain of the Pajaritos Mountains. It was an adventure to get too these guys.
