chipping sparrow, immature

Spizella passerina

Spotting Image 1

Notes:

I am not totally convinced this is a chipping sparrow, but that is what meets the most for description. It is probably a cross between a few different sparrows, some sort of hybrid.

Note the dark lores and curved supercilium that eliminate White-crowned.
