I don't think he is a house finch or a song sparrow. I can't figure out what breed he is. Can you?

English/House Sparrow https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/House_Sparrow/overview
Shakespeare lovers released them in Brooklyn in 1851 and then in San Francisco and Salt Lake City about 1870. They brought over a few species of birds mentioned in old Will's writings before they were convinced to stop introducing non-native species. They wanted to eventually introduce all the birds and animals from Shakespeare's works to the US and everywhere they lived in the world. And in 1870 someone from New Zealand introduced them to Hawaii.
Green is their native range or natural spread and yellow is where people introduced them and they spread.

Dear robertjerl...Thank you for the link for me to learn more about the Male English House Sparrow. Once I listened his call I remember hearing it on the farm in the past. I appreciate your helpful comment.

Dear Dave327...Looking at the pictures of the Male House Sparrow and the female and listening to their call, I recall hearing that call on my parents farm outside Fredonia, KS. Thank you for your comment.
