Spizella passerina
At first glance, I thought I was seeing an ordinary House Sparrow, but the markings are different. I believe this bird is most likely a Chipping Sparrow, in non-breeding plumage (so it does not have the rust stripe on the top of its head. I have seen Chipping Sparrows in the spring (but never posted any), but it has only been in the last week or so that any have been through here this fall. They are more common in open land, but do visit urbanized areas occasionally.
