This bird has a small beak, a spot or "v" on the chest, a white belly, and a yellowish
supercillium near the beak (stronger during mating season), and a short tail. The
grasshopper sparrow also has a yellowish supercilium but it has more of a
roman-nosed beak and a buffy, unmarked belly (see Grasshopper Sparrow).
