can't quite find a match...

group of 4 in trees between 1st pond and coral
plump sparrow with buff breast, uniform brown wings and striking head 
pattern
the most striking feature was the black mustache/throat stripes like a lark 
sparrow, also had small central dark spot on breast
however i believe there was a yellow wash on the stripe above the eye and 
the center head stripe I think was rufous.

I've also considered Clay-colored but ... black stripes coming down the 
throat?
Savannah are too colorful on wings
Lincolns are too yellow
Vesper pattern not striking enough

My consolation prize for this hard one was a Rose-breasted Grosbeak right 
at the sign for the Learning Center where a memorial bridge is, high in a 
cottonwood
