Would like ID of this one please
Not sure what this is, thought maybe a fox sparrow, but just does not look right. Any help will be appreciated. Taken in late May, 2010 in central Illinois.

This is a Song Sparrow, showing a lot of the classic ID points, a fairly heavily streaked breast, rufous tones in all of the brown plumage, rufous and gray on the head, and the classic face pattern of a Song Sparrow.
