Song Sparrow
Melospiza melodia
"The large, heavily streaked
song sparrow ranges throughout Texas from October until April
... its grayish-brown upperparts are streaked with black. Heavy
streaking on the light sides and breast merges into a prominent
central breast spot. Broad grayish eyebrows and dark whisker
marks bordering the white throat also aid identification."
Alsop in Birds of Texas
(p. 493) also notes "pinkish legs and feet."
