It does look like a Saltmarsh Sparrow. My only reservation is the amount of
buff that appears on the throat and underparts, at least as shown in that
photo.

Hi,
I'm not professing to be any kind of expert, but on consulting various field
guides it does seem that the bill is long, and the streaking on the breast
is well marked, so a Saltmarsh sparrow might well fit the bill (so to
speak!). BTW, the "sharp-tailed" has now been dropped from the names of
Nelson's and Saltmarsh sparrows.

Hello,
A few days ago a sparrow was playing hide and seek with me at Hartlen
Point. It wouldn't show itself out in the open and stay low and in the
cover of
the reeds (at the waterhole behind the beach facing the harbour.
I managed to get a few photos. One that shows the bird well can be found
here:

I am pretty sure its one of the Sharp-tails (Saltmarsh is my call), but
would
appreciate feedback.
Thanks
Ulli
