Hello! I'm still learning my birds and would love some ID help with several recent ones I saw in Brooklyn in mid April. Some good pics, others not so much.

Is this one a House Sparrow?

Butty, which one are you unsure about? There's one (no, two) with yellow lores and a clean white crest line, but it's not the one with the missing tail feather(s).
 
A1 and A2 are male house sparrows.

B is a hermit thrush.

C1 and C2 are female house sparrows.

E1 and E2 are savannah sparrows.

F is a song sparrow, G is a yellow-rumped warbler ("myrtle" type if I recall correctly)

I confused myself thinking there was an A1 to A4
You've ignored whose comment I was replying to: there is an A1 and an A2, but not an A3 or an A4. If you read my comment and the one I replied to, it will be clear to you.
I confused myself erroneously thinking there was A1-a4
