Ha! Hi David. I remember being fooled by the same thing and came to the same false Sprague’s Pipit conclusion as you did quite a few years ago. Folks on this list correctly and quickly suggested juv. Horned Lark.
Nothing foolish at all of course. But rather a common mistake at this time of year when there are an abundance of juveniles about, which a) few have experience with and b) field guides often don’t do justice.
Me personally, glad to see someone else make the same mistake; and isn’t it great that we have this resource to ask questions and get great assistance.
