Thank you RCF!  I kinda thought it was a fox sparrow, I see them in the spring and fall as they migrate through. I guess he/she forgot to migrate. Hopefully it will last a Manitoba winter. I have lots of seeds, so he/she won't go hungry.  ;D

RCF is right, it is a Fox Sparrow. 
Hermit Thrush look a bit similar but they are not so bright a red and they are cuter, rounder and a spring/fall bird.

I know you didn't ask me, but it looks like a Fox Sparrow.  :)

Tracy would you know what kind of sparrow this is?
He/she is at my feeder today. I hope they don't freeze.
