Chipping Sparrow

This is one of 2 sparrow species that live near my feeder.  The birds almost look the same as a Song Sparrow, which I will post next.  The body shape and coloring are almost the same, and the most visible difference between the two is the reddish patch on top of its head.

This is the Chipping Sparrow perched on a small branch in a tree that is right next to the feeder.

 From this angle, it is very difficult to tell this bird apart from a Song Sparrow.
