I've never heard of a clay-colored sparrow having a red crown. 
Aren't their crowns brown with dark streaks?  The only thing that 
bothered me about that bird as a chipping was the light yellow wash 
to the eyebrow and chin which I can't see indicated for any chipping 
sparrows.  That said, it's distinctly possible that that's the result 
of some tannins from where it was feeding.
