Sparrow Confundo

Vesper Sparrow at El Paso Sewage Treatment Center in Woodford County, IL

Once again I am having trouble with Sparrows. Can anyone help me identify these birds? I am leaning toward a Vesper Sparrow on the first, but not sure.

I took several pictures of this Sparrow below, but it doesn't quite seem to match with anything in the guidebook. Thoughts?

    I found out the first Sparrow is a Vesper. The second is a Swamp Sparrow. Thanks for the help Matthew!
