Clay-colored Sparrow (Spizella pallida) (1) CONFIRMED

- Comments: "Streaky nape but appears way too bright and warmly colored for any BRSP. Assumed young bird retaining some messy nape feathers. White in super and in distinct median crown stripe seem to rule out BRSP. Prominent white malar seems to be a pro CCSP feature too. No editing on photo."
