These were seen in a marsh in Northern Wisconsin. I believe they are 2 different birds of the same species. Second bird appears to have more streaking. I am stuck between young Swamp or young Song Sparrow.

Thank you

Clay-colored Sparrow perhaps.

I think the first is an adult Swamp Sparrow. The second is probably a youngster of the same species; juvenile Swamp and Song Sparrows can be very difficult to distinguish, however, so I do not have a lot of confidence. about that.
