I need help distinguishing among the different Savannah Sparrow subspecies. The illustrations in the guidebooks aren't great, and I haven't been able to find good side-by-side photo comparisons of the different subspecies online.
Photos 1 & 2: Taken at Ormond Beach near Oxnard, CA during summer. Are these both Belding's? I was thinking this because of the relatively dark color and just the fact they were present during the summer.
Photo 3: Taken at a jetty in Marina del Rey in January. Any thoughts?
