Sparrow ID in San Antonio Texas

Was out today at a park and near the end of the afternoon, I chased around a few sparrows. Would like to get comments on these pics. Hopefully the quality is enough for ID.

Savannah?

Thx for your feedback.

These aren't all of the same bird, are they?

Pic 1 looks good for Savannah
But Pic 2 & 3 look like Song sparrow to me.

The pics were in the general area within 20-30 yards, but I don't believe they were the same birds. Thanks for your thoughts, WCrone and J. Moore.
