Le Conte's Sparrow ? - Sask, Canada

Hi guys - my friend would like this ID'd . I'm thinking Le Conte's but he thinks it also looks like a Gasshopper Sparrow in his Sibley's . Would like to know for sure.

cheers

Nick

I would say LeConte's as well.
Note the streaked sides---never see this on a Grasshopper Sparrow.
CHEERS, JOE G
