Participant Photo: Junco x White-throated Sparrow hybrid? Share Submitter: Laura Hedden Place: Plainsboro Township, NJ, USA Submission Date: March 9, 2023 Species: Categories: Sparrows & Cardinals Tags: Dark-eyed Junco x White-throated sparrow hybrid Comments 3 comments on “Participant Photo: Junco x White-throated Sparrow hybrid?” Bob Vuxinic on March 9th, 2023 - 12:52pm I think it’s a Dark-eyed Junco that is partially leucistic. Reply Laura Hedden on March 9th, 2023 - 1:46pm Thank you! That is definitely also a possibility. I have seen some odd placement of white feathers on partially leucistic birds before. I saw a partially leucistic robin this week as well, and maybe I’ll post a photo of that bird too! Reply Texas Bird Family on March 10th, 2023 - 4:10pm leucistic Dark-eyed Junco.
