Help me with an I.D. please






I'm sure it's something common, but I just can't seem to find it in Sibley's -- and I looked at ALL the Ducks and Geese in the book! It's hard to see in shot No. 1, but the upper breast area looked black speckled similar to the pattern of a Starling.  Just my luck, it's probably just your old, everyday, Worthen's Sparrow. :)
