Photo of CLOSED: A Young Meadowlark or Something Else?

The picture is darker than it should be, I had fiddled with the manual settings while taking cloud pictures and the I caught this. By the time I got to the setting I use for birds, it flew away.

Up to this point I have only ID'ed Eastern Meadowlarks, though I suspect I have heard the Western, as well. I am not familiar with the young at all. I don't think this is a juvenile Red-winged Blackbird, as I think they have a lot more streaking on the breast.

The next picture shows the bill better.
Thank you so much.
