Howdy Hogs,

Would like to hear from experienced birders out there on what sparrow species you think this might be. Note there is a hint of yellow near the eye, which made me think Savannah Sparrow. But it doesn't look quite right. Could this be a Rufous-crowned? Other ideas?

This photo was take near Layayette, CA. Classic inland CA habitat of rolling hills, oak trees, etc.

Thanks for any thoughts on an ID.
