Seen in Regina. I'm flummoxed.

Thanks

The best I can come up with is a very plain juvenile American Robin.

I can add one more photo - for scale - that might help. I believe the bird on the left is a juvenile brown-headed cowbird.

Definitely too small for a robin. I was thinking juvenile Black-throated Blue Warbler, but it's rare in Saskatchewan.  I have no better ideas though.

Looks like an immature Common Yellowthroat to me.
