Observation details
Flock of 7 or 8 similar birds with dull brown overall appearance and streaked chests. All but one flew before I could get a positive ID on them but this one appeared tired and stood still with its mouth open for 2 or 3 minutes seemingly trying to catch its breath, then posed very cooperatively for the next 15 minutes on the furthest northwest baseball field. Seen well in scope at 30 power from the south, in very good light and photographed. Closest to the darker breeding adult in Sibley, but with less defined chest streaking, very plain gray-brown back and buffy or off-white on face and chest contrasting with darker streaks. Might have been a dash of cinnamon color on the cheek.
