Sounds like Horned Larks, at least that's likely what they would be around here. (Western Ohio to Central Indiana)Dark ones could be Lapland Longspurs, but often those are more in the middle of fields. If there is snow cover, it could be a mixed flock of Horned Larks, Lapland Longspurs, and Snow Buntings!!
Good Luck!

With me being a young birder, and not as experienced as some of you, I've
seen some small gray brown birds on the side of the roads with the snow and
salt. I know these aren't Juncos, but I'm not sure if there Snow Buntings.
I've never seen one, possibly. But there a tiny bit bigger than a House
Sparrow, on the side of roads in small flocks of 7 or so, and are
white-gray-brown. I can't get good observations on them because I'm always
in the car when I see them. Are these Snow Buntings?
