I'm going to disagree with Resin on Savannah Sparrow, and agree with TheGrine on Swamp Sparrow.

I'm posting two shots of Savannah Sparrows for comparison. The yellow above the eye is a vivid yellow on the Savannah Sparrow, this is lacking in f-chisolms picture. The Savannah Sparrow's wing color is rather drab uniform color. f-chisolms picture has a more complex pattern which matches the picture of a Swamp Sparrow in National Geographic's Field Guide.
