Dark-eyed Junco (Junco hyemalis pinosus) 12 December 2014 - Pacifica, San Mateo County, California. Photo © 2014 Joseph Morlan

Several different races of Dark-eyed Junco winter in our area. I believe this is an example of J. h. pinosus which is largely resident here. It has the most ruddy colored mantle and is more pink on the sides and flanks than other races.
