Description:
brown and white bird with black patch on it's chest and pink bill . Slightly larger but similar in color to the white throated sparrows it was feeding with.

Behavior:
it was feeding on the ground under a tray feeder with a flock of white throated sparrows. I noticed it because it was slightly larger than the white throated and then I saw the dark patch on it's chest.
