Really bad, but I'll give it a chance anyway.
After sunset this little one plopped down to the ground. Seems to me more like the size of a wren then a sparrow. I know you'll say that it just looks like a female sparrow, however, I really think I'm seeing some orange in the head and back areas. I thought perhaps chipping sparrow, but just don't know.
Now, this one is really out of focus, but you can kinda see the orange stripes on the top of the head.
And here we have another blurry one, but you can see some coloring in the wings.
Maybe a young Song Sparrow? Not sure when they get the vertical stripes on the breast, but then when I looked it up even the Juvies had some vertical striping.

I'd go for Chipping, given the plain unstreaked greyish underparts

thanks both. Chipping would match the size for sure. I'll keep an eye out for more. Haven't seen any for a while in the yard here.
