Sparrow Identification Osoyoos Desert Trail

[imperialbirders]

Hi
Last week we walked the Osoyoos Desert trail boardwalk and saw this sparrow foraging in the Antelope trees and the Rabbit bushes. It was hunting for food near the base of the shrubs.
The new manager thought it may be a Lincoln Sparrow but it acted more like a Vesper Sparrow. I need your expertise to confirm.

Thank you

How about a juvenile white-crowned sparrow?

I would also suggest immature White-crowned Sparrow. John V

Thanks for the id Randy and Birder1942. Those youngsters fool me.
