Jack - I think you nailed that one and clearly Dan nailed the ID. I was
certain "sparrow" but couldn't remember "who".
Really difficult to get those little guys to hold still but I don't
think the lack of detail in the breast feathers matters that much
because the composition and colors ares so appealing and the bird
is showing his key identifiable markings nicely.

Nice image, with a great pose, and the foliage adds a lot.
I don't think it's a bobolink, however:

More like a sparrow, perhaps a chipping sparrow:

This was a member of a small flock of variously marked smallish birds flitting
about in a Japanese Maple near the patio.
Was a completely overcast, giant soft box day. great lighting, but a little
dim, in addition to the background redwoods
that slowed the shutter. Hand held DA55~300at300 and ISO of 800 didn't quite do
it. Hoping they return today.
Comments invited.
