I guess I have to chime in - though it's risky! Might there be some
differentiation in that Bewick;'s Wrens sing primarily in the Spring and
Song Sparrows sing all year long? Assuming the recording was made recently,=
my vote is for SOSP if for no other reason than that. My first impression
is certainly SOSP, too.
