I found this bird after hearing a henslows sparrow in the same general vicinity in a large meadow in suburban Chicago. It was the only one visibly present. I think it might be a juvenile bobolink but they usually travel in large groups this time of year. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
