Took this at the Yolo bypass wildlife area Northern CA. I am not strong on small birds. I thought it was a Wren of some type when I first took it but then when looking on the computer it has a Sparrow or finch like bill but holds its tail like a Marsh Wren but has a bill like a sparrow.
Closet thing I can find in my Smithsonian Birds of North America is the Lincoln's Sparrow. My mom grab my good Bird book so I cannot compare them.

    I would say your ID is correct

    Could be a number of sparrows- lincoln, fox, savannah- but I'd bet it's a Song Sparrow myself. We get a lot of those over here in Georgia too.
