I do believe that’s a Junco. If you have (or get some in the future) shots of it more from the side, I could make a more positive ID. There are several races (not separate species) of Junco, with a lot of overlap.
CC, my first thought when I saw it was “Dark-eyed Junco!”, but it obviously isn’t. I think you’re right. I’ll dig out my Peterson’s and have a look at the Juncos. Perhaps this is a female Dark-eyed. I’m used to only seeing the males.

kindspecies.Passer rattus. Yep, that works.
