It is a tight one, I wish we could hear a little more of the file? The
Bewick's wren recordings I have from California are very similar to this an=
d
they do sing this song in the period you say it did...
I have to say it's 50/50 for me.

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.
