I am in rural Maple Ridge and have a fairly large resident flock of Dark-Eyed Juncos in my yard as regular visitors to my feeder. Recently this bird has joined them. It is so different from the rest of the distinctly dark-hooded Oregon Juncos that I'm wondering if it is a different type. One difference is that its breast is gray rather than cream or white.
Perhaps it is just an immature female but it seems strange to me that it would be the only one of dozens to look like it.
Could it possibly be a pink-sided junco?
I would really appreciate some help to help identify it.

(This is my first posting, so I hope I'm doing it correctly!)

Thank you!
