This sparrow "look-alike" looks like a Lark Bunting.
-- The big white wing patch is a strong clue, and the bill is larger than most other sparrows.
Sibley has a cool list of birds that look like sparrows,
but are not. (page 492 of the first edition).
I have recently mis-identified 9 of the last 7 bird photos I looked at, so let's wait
for another opinion.
