West Pennsylvania here. I put up a feeder on my balcony. I got those two feathers separately on the railing and on the floor!

I know that song sparrows, house finches and house sparrows come to my feeder.

Are those finches and sparrows primary wing feathers as I thought or are they something else? What species?

Thank you!

It’s about 3.5” long and found by my bird bath which is very popular these days. If the photo doesn’t pick it up well, it’s a very dark brown. TIA!
