Dickcissel
Spiza americana

Field Notes
Description:
I believe these shots are of a mated pair - the first two photos being the male and the 3rd the female - OR, they are not sexual dimorphic and rather, the smaller one is a juvenile. As they were pretty close together and may have been tending to a ground nest I could not see, I'm betting on the former rather than the later. These are some sort of finch/sparrow I had not seen before, in a multi-acre field in Scurry, TX.
Habitat:
Tall dry grass/reeds in open field.
