I had that same thought, when I first saw the post as well. Common isn't much
darker than Sandhill, really few of the Cranes are and the ones that are look
nothing like a Sandhill. Assuming it is a pigment issue, but who knows! I
photographed a few Sandhills with the big flocks of Common Cranes that winter
in the Yangtze River Delta of China. The color is about the same, with of
course Common having the distinctive black and white neck and face. It is
certainly possible we could get a Common at Hiwassee one of these days though!!
Here are a couple of photos if interested:

(note, young Common are much more similar to Sandhills)
Good Birding!!

FWIW, a
few Common Cranes have turned up in flocks of Sandhills out
west this year (New Mexico & Texas). Definitely
something to keep an eye out for. You never
know!
For anyone
who isn't familiar with what a Common Crane looks like,
here's a link to a Flickr image:

Charles Murray noticed an
unusually dark crane among the Sandhill Cranes
this morning. It isn’t the
Hooded Crane.
