Thanks Ann. It was the same size as a goldfinch. Perhaps a bit bigger than a sparrow.

I've found googling images with keywords to be really useful in
confirming one's suspicions...
the dicey part with them little finches is whether it is a house finch
or a purple finch... I think this is a female of one of those

Great shot! Looking through my Peterson's Field Guide, the closest match I
could find is the juvenile Slate-colored Junco, which is indeed a sparrow.
Then again, it could be any number of sparrows. I'm just going by the pretty
pictures in the birdy book.

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.
