The second bird looks like a Chipping Sparrow.

There is no yellow eyebrow on a Chipping Sparrow.

There is no yellow eyebrow on a Chipping Sparrow.

I would say the eyebrow is yellowish-buff, which is okay for Chipping Sparrow in non-breeding plumage:

It's not a Savannah Sparrow, which would show obvious streaking on the underparts.

I'm thinking Clay-colored for No. 2, though I haven't checked any ID guides yet so I could be wrong.

Ya know with that gray collar you may be right querty.

I thought about Clay-colored but it shows a fairly clear dark loral line, which is good for Chipping and bad for Clay-colored.
