That chestnut spot and what looks like an eye-ring in the first picture should mean it's a Vesper Sparrow.

Thomas, thank you for the ID.
Here two additional photos that offer a better view of the area around the eye for your consideration.
Cheers, Gary

Yes, looks good for Vesper and it looks like white outer tail feathers in the first picture.
