Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia)

Found across virtually the entire United States, it is reasonably common in bushy areas, particularly along streams. Though a variable species, it is recognisable by the chestnut stripes on its head and a grey eyebrow. As the name suggests, it has a distinctive song.
