Observation details

This bird in the photos was feeding in an area with White-crowned Sparrows and Chipping Sparrows. From discussions with a number of other birders, it seems to be a leucistic sparrow most likely a White-crowned. The wing and back marking and general shape seem to favor White-crowned, but the black beak suggests Chipping.
