[Maine-birds] Re: Is this a Lincoln's Sparrow? Monhegan

It is really hard to tell from one photo especially from this angle.  Sometimes photos don't bring out the subtle colors well.  However, it seems to me that Lincoln's generally have a more prominent white eye-ring, and the breast/flank streaking is a little finer in a cream to buff "wash" on the upper breast and flanks.  (Compare the pictures here http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/lincolns_sparrow/id )  But, I could be wrong....
