I would put my money on a female, or immature purple finch.
The 'vee' tail , heavy beak , and streaked sides, plus the location and =
attitude are all suggestive of that species to me .

  Acting on first impulse:  That particular pattern of heavy =
reddish-brown streaking on the breast  and underneath combined with the =
larger size, had me think: Fox Sparrow   but I havn't seen many Fox =
Sparrows in N.S. when the larch has its needles but I'm sure its =
possible.


  I'll send this and then check my bird books.
