Subspecies: hyemalis. "Males tend to have darker, more conspicuous markings than the females. Also they are 5–6.5 in (13–17 cm) in length."

Habitat:

" This bird is common across much of temperate North America and in summer ranges far into the Arctic."

Notes:

Shooting through a dirty window, so the quality is really bad. Sorry!

Really lovely photo, window and all. I like the fall leaves and snow surrounding the little bird. :)
