After re-consulting Peterson's, I think you're right. Though, it
looks like it might be a house finch, due to the less contrasting
markings around the eye, and more squared-off tail feathers. Both, very
similar to a sparrow.
I could never be an ornithologist. Aside from the difficulty in
discerning between species, on television, they all seem to wear funny hats.

That much I'm sure of. I think it's some kind of sparrow. It was
only a wee bit bigger than the chickadees. In any case, I'm pleased
in that the A400/5.6 doesn't seem to fringe as much with the K5 as
it did with the other Pentax DSLRs. Or maybe I just got lucky. Not
enough samples to say for sure.
K-5, A 400/5.6, ISO 1250, f5.6, 1/800th, AF 540 flash with Xtender.
