On 10/29/10 these 2 birds arrived at my feeder outside my office in New Bern, NC. They were there midday today, 10/30, as well. The distinquishing feature is the light orange colored band around their necks. However, their colors are quite different, leading me to think this is a male & female - but I'm new at this. One is a predominantly gray while the other has very detailed wing markings. I have been unable to find any help on the web identifying them. Hopefully my photos will be clear enough for you to help me.
Thanks,
Confusednewbernian

It does certainly look like a female house sparrow. The other does not look like the pictures I found of a male house sparrow, but these 2 are always together. I saw them again today, 11/3, at my feeder. Today was a little rainy, so I couldn't get a good look at the little mystery one. Thanks for the info, Susan. I hope someone will be able to definitively identify the other one.
