Field Notes

Description:

I'm pretty sure it's some kind of sparrow. I was leaning towards Chipping Sparrow given his "mohawk", but the lines around the eyes are wrong. Help?

Habitat:

North Pond, Chicago, IL

It sort of looks like a Lincoln's Sparrow (Melospiza lincolnii) to me. Many sparrow looks similar. Anyone else have any thoughts?
