This rather rotund creature is a fox sparrow, the kind of fairly rare sighting that gets all of the diehard birders in the park very excited, while those who are less committed to checking every possible species off on one list or another respond with a collective Huh?
I'm just glad that there were more knowledgeable witnesses around to identify it for me -- the sparrows in the field guides have a sad tendency to all look alike to me.
