Hi Jim

I think it is not a Savannah sparrow because of its facial marks.  It did 
not have yellow lores. I know when I see a Savannah or Ipswich sparrow. 
This mystery Lakeside sparrow has weak, pale molars (?) and a smudgy dot 
with few pale streaks.  The tail was average.  Not short or long.

Cheers,
Liz

Liz, your small pale song?? sparrow might be a Savannah sparrow -- that's 
the way our Canard wintering Savannahs look.  A good clue is the relatively 
shorter tail on Savannahs.  Cheers from Jim
