While taking test shots with my new Sony RX10, I took this image of a small, light tan, sparrow-like, bird with dark brown wings that matched none of the varieties of sparrows I could find on line. The closest I could come was a "Brown Headed- Cowbird." Please help me verify the name for this species.

I think what you have there is a Cassin's Sparrow, either a juvenile or gray adult.

guessing female Dark eyed Junco?
Brown headed cowbird and that's no bull.😄
I'm not good at identifying small birds but this is a nice shot and a pretty little bird.
