Can someone suggest an ID for this small flock of birds that are at my
Delaware OH feeders intermittently today?  They are slightly larger than a
House Sparrow.  White necks with snowy white breasts except for reddish
shoulders and prominent brown/red spots behind each eye.  Heads have a
golden-brown stripe on top.  Their eyes are very small, black and round and
their beaks are small, triangular in shape--like a finches only smaller.  Their
wings and backs are olive-brown save for large white wing bars that run the
whole length of each wing. They were feeding with Sparrows and House
Finches.
