I'll go for Louisiana W, based primarily on the well-spaced streaks on the upper breast and unstreaked white throat.

The yellowish tone (particularly in the first pic) might suggest Northern, but could also just be a photo artefact. I'd also suspect it is too early in the autumn for Northerns to have reached Texas yet.

Darn it. I was hoping for a northern one especially since a lot of the pics had that yellowish color, but Louisiana is more likely. Thanks for your help!
