Brian Morin: That's a good example of how different a juvenile bird can be from its parent. As for species, the clues are in the head. That's a finch/sparrow beak and there is a definite eye ring. The light doesn't show the beak clearly but it does appear to be pinkish. Your bird is a very young Field Sparrow. The adults have no streaking on the upper body.
BobTour: thank you for this info and update.
