It's a black-faced bunting.

This is probably a first-winter Yellow-breasted bunting - masked bunting would show more definite streaking and an even plainer head pattern without the ear-spot, I would think.

Any bunting experts please enlighten us?

I agree, a first-winter female Yellow-breasted.

Oh! I am so happy to hear that I got a Yellow-breasted bunting!

Koel and Paul! Thank you so much!

But can you teach us more that how to recongize it is a first-winter female Yellow-breasted Bunting?

Thanks again!
