I apologise for the poor photos firstly. Saw this bird near me flicking up dead leaves at the weekend. Really unusual stripes on the face and chest. The nearest I can find online is a song sparrow but they are rarely seen in the UK.
Any suggestions.
Many thanks
Mark
Looks like a Redwing to me with not much of the red underwing showing!
