This is an "Oregon" Junco which is a subspecies of the Dark-eyed Junco. They are found mostly in the western part of the US and it is very rare for them to be seen in our area.
I didn't realize how rare this bird is in our part of the country until recently when I shared some pics with some expert birders who confirmed their ID .
