Not sure! Could be, but I was also thinking possibly Vesper Sparrow, as it looks to have a white eye ring and a prominent white malar stripe.

Could be Song Sparrow, but all Song Sparrows I've ever seen or heard of have had more streaks on the belly than that. I agree with Resin; Vesper Sparrow seems more likely.
