2 of these Buntings were noted in Long Valley today (25-10-04). I was not able to ID them positively.
Brief description and photo to come:
 
- medium-sized bunting
- tail not long
- milky background colour
- bill rather pale
- classic U on face with pale ear spot
- distinct streaks above, some below
 

Help much appreciated!

Dear Koel,
 
The picture could not be shown, but your descriptions seem interesting. Would you mind to ask the webmaster to help posting the picture here, or send it to my email account?

Hi Koel,
 
I can see the picture now. Would you have more picture to show the underparts?  
 
I think it is a Yellow-breasted Bunting but I am not 100% sure! I made this conclusion from its head pattern and general structure. So, what is the colour of the underparts?

We saw an adult female earlier with yellow underparts. This one has pale milky underparts along with its companion - could they have been first winters?
Anyway thanks for your answer.
