Really,  sparrow to rail.  Tough to confuse.

It was rather boring at the farm this morning, until we stopped on the metal 
bridge by the intersection of Mildred Way (by the pond) and Agronomy Rd.  
Looking for a sparrow that darted into the brush along the bank, we spotted 
what we first thought was a robin, but realized that it was a Virginia Rail.  
We saw the rufous breast and got a good look at the long, down-curved bill and 
the greyish head.  A snipe showed up there, as well.
