The photo you took is of a Chipping Sparrow, regardless of how it 
sounded.  It is not at all rare for birds to sing songs that sound 
like different species (and I'm not just talking about known mimics 
such as Mockingbirds).   Or sometimes they just mess around a 
bit.   I imagine if a Chipping Sparrow "broke" its trill, it would 
sound very much like a Clay-colored Sparrow.

Cheers,

Blake
