I agree with Song Sparrow, it's a juvenile.

Could it be a Fox Sparrow?

This is a Song Sparrow; note the reddish-brown color (grayer on a Lincoln's) and coarse brown streaks (crisper streaks contrasting with a buffy breast on Lincoln's). Lincoln's also has a relatively smaller, more slender bill.

Not sure if this is some kind of sparrow or a juvenile Junco
