Juvenile Spotted Towhee based on white pattern on underside of tail. Can't see the dark stripes on chest to be sure. But the dark beak is consistant. I would have expected to still see an orangish gape also, but again, the light is difficult.

Hope to be seeing juvie Spotted Towhees in my yard soon.
