This bird shows some chestnut feathers on rump, lower mantle, crown and coverts. I think it is a Chestnut Bunting.

| Thanks for your identification! t's looks to me either a female chestnut or yellow-breasted bunting but I have no previous experience with the female chestnut. That's why I am not so sure. Below is another photo showing more parts of the breast. I hope this may help experts like you to give me the answer Thanks!

I agree that these are actually Yellow-breasted Buntings; the bill is too large, the head pattern too well marked, there is obvious white in the tail (which Chestnut never shows) and the median coverts show very pale tips (rufous in Chestnut Bunting).
