Observation details
3 individuals heard singing along this drive. Finally got looks and photos of one. I am familiar with this species and know the song very well. I made some poor recordings of the song on my iPhone. I believe the bird is the Slate-colored subspecies. The one I saw was a large two-toned sparrow that was gray on the upper half and rusty red on the lower half with heavy spotting on the breast. It had a bulkier bill than the SOSP and lacked the facial pattern of the SOSP. I also heard and saw many SOSP along the drive.
