Talked to a birder who said he had seen and photographed a clay-colored sparrow at Sheldon Lake and told me where. I went to the spot and this sparrow popped up. Usually, we don't see clay-colored here, but this year, probably b/c of the drought, they've been seen in at least 3 other parks that I know of. I can't tell if I found him or if it's some other kind of sparrow. What do you think?
Another pic.
Here's his back. The wind was blowing the grass making it hard to focus on him or even get him in the pic.
This pic is pretty blurry, but on the off chance that it may be helpful, here it is.
Last one -- also a blurfest.
Look's good for Clay-colored but I would get more confirmation. On small bird's that are amongst a lot of brush which can draw focus away from the bird
I switch to spot metering so I can get more focus on the bird. Just trying to help if I can.
I'd agree with Clay-colored

Had a third party ID it as clay-colored too. Thank you both!
