Not sure what this bird is, a sparrow I presume, but could not find in my bird guide. Was taken a few days ago here in central Illinois.
Thanks for any help.

Looks like a female House Sparrow to me, John.

Next time I will be sure to check the introduced birds section of my guide to birds of Illinois.
thank you

House Sparrow - female. The House Sparrow after many tries was successfully introduced to Brooklyn from Europe around 1851 and in San Francisco in the late 1800's. See the article I wrote about them on my website. http://www.natureali.org/house_sparrow.htm
