Observation details
A flock of Horned Larks came in for a drink at salt creek where it nearly enters the Salton Sea. I snapped off a few photos and noticed one was more sparrow-like. The flock flew and I was limited to identifying the bird in the photos. I believe Lapland Longspur because of the dark bib on the breast, reddish tones in greater coverts, tan eyeline with slight hint of dark auricular patch.
