Shai, thank you for the photos. Variations within this species really run
along a wide spectrum.
The breast of the bird on photo P1030904 is almost like a Nelson's

Hi Juan and all,
Check out these two photos of an exceptionally fresh and bright Seaside Sparrow
from Moriches Inlet, Suffolk, LI, last Saturday. Our local seaside Sparrows
vary a lot in terms of the degree of buffy color on the face and breast and in
terms of the distinctness of their

I’m not seeing it, Juan. Agree with Angus.
In your photo, the breast is over-exposed, making it appear much lighter than

Maybe I'm missing something but could you perhaps explain why you think
this not a pure Seaside Sparrow?
I am not noticing any inconsistencies, although to be fair it's difficult
to evaluate a single photo of a partially obscured bird that's facing
