White-crowned Sparrow (Immature)

I used to think every small brown bird was a sparrow, but I'm learning that they really don't all look exactly alike, that they do have characteristic markings, and it's actually kind of fun to tell the difference. This little White-crowned Sparrow came alone to forage below the thistle seed feeder for several days in a row, and then disappeared.
Doesn't she look cute in our Aspen tree?
