I am confused on this one. But I am probably thinking too hard about it!

Eastern Towhee was my first thought too. A young one maybe?

Reminds me of a female Indigo Bunting.

Ditto to Eastern Towhee, juvenile starting moult to first-winter (probably still too young to sex, though). Note the wite sides/corners to the tail (all-dark tail on Indigo Bunting), also the tail is too long for IB.
