[cobirds] Re: Golden-crowned sparrow??? ID help needed - near Chatfield, CO Douglas CO

Thanks Dave.  That is certainly what I thought as well.  Is it normal for a white-crowned to have some yellow markings on top like that?  Never seen that before...

I am pretty sure it is a golden crowned that I saw.  I have a picture of it on our website.  I was thrown a little by the orange bill and distinct eye line.  Is it a white-crowned with some yellow on it, or a golden-crowned? From what I read, immature yellow-crowned can have orangish bills at times?
 
I am not that good with the identification of sparrows yet!
 
I have a picture of it on our website.  http://www.cheezwhizdom.com/nonflash/content/IMG_1766_large.html     Any help is appreciated!
