"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."

Photo taken with a Nikon D80 using a Nikon 300mm f/2.8 manual focus lens.
