Observation details
I don't really know. Looking at the photos years later, I see the malars are grayer, like the Lillian's in the Sibley Guide, on all the photos. Spotting on sides and flanks also consistent with the Lillian's. The bird was in a dry grassy area of Texas in October, which matches when Sibley locates it there. There were some variations in the darkness of the feathers on wings and backs. I do not have any evidence of the song.
