Photographed this sparrow 1/14/15 in central Illinois. Thought it might be a chipping or song sparrow, just does not quite match images in my guide book.
Thank you for your help.

As Jim says - immature White-crowned Sparrow.

Thanks guys. Just a few minutes ago adult white crowned started showing up and I started thinking these could be immature or something like that. Appreciate your time.
