Recorded in the late afternoon on 15 November 2015 (the first of my record this autumn) at paddy fields of LV.
I think there was one among tens of Eurasin Sparrows.
However, after examining the photos carefully, there may be two!
The photos speak for themsalves

Heavy bill and lighter colour surely make this a good contender of female House Sparrow? Any thoughts?

Yes, certainly House Sparrow.

Are the birds of both photos House Sparrow?
Why do they have much paler colour?
