Swamp Sparrow? First thing I noticed was its white throat but its song was
definitely not a White Throated Sparrow (Sibley's shows the latter to be
quite similar in appearance). Looks like a trace of yellow at the base of
the bill too. The song seemed more melodic and complex than the samples I've
listened to:
