This afternoon at the bird feeder. I know the top one is a White-Throated Sparrow. I think the bottom one is a Fox Sparrow? Don't think I've noticed one around here before.

The "little hat" is a seedhead from last years brown-eyed susans

Thanks for the confirmations. It is a very handsome bird. I especially like the cinnamon tail.
