Got this from Brad-
"Look closely at your obvious Clay-colored Sparrow please Bob! There is no
loral eye stripe as Dennis Paulson had also noted in his brief but to the
point reasoning for the North Head bird being a CHSP! Key ID features as
noted go before perceived "too stripey head"! The spizella at North Head on
that checklist is unquestionably a Chipping Sparrow! Thanks for showing an
obvious CCSP!".
OK, I'll give. Somehow I had not looked at the third image of the North
Jetty bird, the best image of them all, and showing the lores well.. Yes,
this is a chipping sparrow. Notice also how the jizz, general shape of the
head in the Oregon Clay-colored is much different from the 'gentle' rounded
Chipping Sparrow shape.
