I took this shot at Sugar Grove Nature Center in central Illinois, at noon. I thought this sparrow seemed different than the others. As near as I can tell it is an Eurasian tree sparrow. Would appreciate confirmation or alturnative ID.

I agree on your ID. This introduced species has a very limited range along the MO-IL boundary.
Looks very much like a Eurasian Tree Sparrow to me too John :^)
I'll post a photo for your here of one I shot up in Bangkok, although I see them in my village and pretty much everywhere I go in Thailand; they have to be one of the most common birds we have over here.
