Subject: HELP! - Need sparrow ID

I hope someone can help. I spotted a sparrow at one of my feeders this
weekend that I couldn't ID. Minimal streaking on chest, speckled head
(brown with lighter speckles) and three spots of yellow; one on either side
of the beak in front of the eye and one in the middle of the forehead.
There was a white eye band on the lower eyelid.

It rather looked like a grasshopper sparrow but I couldn't make a positive
ID. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
