Observation details
Seen close! Possible juvenile/immature bird or worn adult large-billed sparrow, with very buffy yellowish underparts, fine dark streaks on breast and sides of breast, and two dark spots behind eye on auriculars. Did not have a greenish tinge on face/nape as in fresh adults. Recorded calling with Merlin which did not identify the species call note. Appeared in response to playback of song, but did not sing (it called). Low quality photos on my iPhone. Habitat looks good as a tall and diverse meadow (prairie) far from trees. This entire area looks like it has been in the process of being converted to huge warehouses and I wonder how long grassland patches suitable for this species will remain here.
