[several reports of Oregon Junco not listed above]
Other subspecies reported but not yet evaluated:
(1) Reported as Dark-eyed Junco (Pink-sided, J. h. mearnsi)
These may actually refer to Oregon, or to a reddish-brown variant of Slate-colored, or a form of Slate-colored J. h. cismontanus. Confusion about identification contributes to this.
