    If you can tell anything from these 3 pics, you'll probably tell me that it's a house sparrow! This was taken next to the mulberry tree at Smith Oaks sanctuary in the woodsy area.

    After I posted this, I started to think female bunting too although I was leaning toward Indigo. Saw both in that location.

    Yeah, I was debating between Painted and Indigo - this one looks about half-way between on green-ness ;-)
