CLOSED: Sparrow or something else?

Copperas Cove, TX(Zone 8a)

Caught this little fellow several times today but not sure if it's just a sparrow with white wingtips or something else.

A partial albino / leucistic bird (the white in the wing feathers isn't normal), possibly a White-crowned Sparrow

Here's another picture of the same bird. I looked up the white-crowned sparrow at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology site and it just doesn't quite look like this one.

Thanks! Much clearer pic; it's a female House Sparrow, still a partial albino / leucistic individual.
