I’m not sure what to make of the bird on the fence post but the other individual appears to be a worn adult Clay-colored Sparrow.  CCSP has been reported at this location for several years so breeding is not unexpected.

The 2nd photograph in particular is good for Clay-colored Sparrow.

The distinctly-bordered auriculars visible in the photo convinced me that this is a Clay-colored.

Photos difficult to judge but I saw and heard 1+ Clay-coloreds with Terry (& Heidi Ware) at this location a week later.
