This sparrow was taken this past weekend in southeast Arizona. My best guess is a female Lark Bunting. Thanks for your help.

The strong facial pattern, including the stripes through the eye, on the top of the head, and on either side of the throat, together with the strong streaking on the chest, are good features to look for. Savannah Sparrows look simliar, but don't have as strong streaking or as dark of a line through the eye.
