This one is more of a long shot as bird was comparatively distant and not ideal for photography to say the least.
The bird was sat up singing from the salt marshes at Playa del Rey, LA and to my ear being a Brit, sounded just like a Corn Bunting with a jangle not unlike a shaking of keys.
I don't have a Western Sibley guide to hand so thought I'd offer up the challenge. The second image suggests a a long bill suggesting something like Dickcissel which I'm not familiar with by the way.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Robin
