Appears to be a song sparrow. Must have been a little chilly, he's all puffed up . Hard to see distinctive chin markings and chest dot. Can usually tell it's a song sparrow from its call.

Tail looks a bit short, but I think it's a young one, which would also account for finer streaking, and perhaps the buffier colours in the face.
