Oregon Dark-eyed junko

This isn't great focus. The truth is I didn't even notice this bird when I made the shot. I saw him when I looked at my picture on the computer but I don't recognize what it is. Many of you recognized the one I put on yesterday, so I need your help again. He has a black cap like a chickadee but the other colors don't look exactly right.
Don't really know. It sort of looks like a nun fench from the back??? Like the framing.

Don't know what he is but this is a great capture! I really like how you framed it with a circle and the colors really set him off!

Very pretty. I don't know what it is either. I find surprises when I bring my shots up on the comptuer, too, sometimes.

@buccigrossi Thanks to all of you for your comments and to Brian for identifing it as an Oregan Black-eyed Junco. This one didn't look much like the pictures, but I took a picture of another bird that looked exactly like them which was probably its mate. I think they are a type of sparrow that live in the Northwest in summer but come southeast for the winter.
