I am inclined to say not a 1st year White-crowned, but lost after that.

I'd like to call them Clay-coloreds, but the supercilia and malars look quite dull. I'm going with Chipping here.

My concern about Chipping is that their lores are dark and their beaks very much darker.

I'm torn on the first, my initial impression was White-crowned, but I see your point about Chipping. For the second, agree with Chipping.

The pale lores means either Clay-colored or Brewer's, and I think the nape's too clean for Brewer's, so Clay-colored.
