I have 3 pics. None show the back or side unfortunately. This was taken on the hillside above Iron Creek Lake in Spearfish Canyon, South Dakota.

Hopefully, it's not a house sparrow. Look at that long tail and pretty face pattern.

looks like it has a pinkish bill and feet so I will guess Field Sparrow. Not enough details that I can see although the head in the last pic reminds me of American Tree Sparrow. Maybe Resin will see more than I can
