San Antonio, Texas ID - flycatcher and sparrow
Was walking a park in north San Antonio yesterday called Stone Oak Park and had a few birds that I'd like some comments on their ID. Although this was late in the afternoon and the sun was out brightly in the "wrong" place for my shots, I'm hoping someone with more experience can give me some insight into this flycatcher type and sparrow.

My best guess on the sparrow is a Vesper. Face pattern don't quite look right though.

With the orangey loral area and scaled pattern to the mantle - I think Grasshopper Sparrow. Nice.

I agree with Say's Phoebe and Grasshopper Sparrow.
