Kingbird ID SE Texas USA

I saw this kingbird in Freeport today. I am guessing a Western Kingbird?

Thanks,
Lyndon

I didn't want to start another topic but I forgot these sparrows. This is the last one I promise.

Several Western Kingbirds were reported at Quintana Neotropical Bird Sanctuary, near Freeport on Friday, so I would say that your guess is correct! All the fieldmarks point to Western for me.

I think they are both Clay-colored Sparrows.
