ID HELP PLEASE
I photographed this little cutie a few feet from the Delaware Bay. She/he had built a nest under this log in a tuff of grass and was feeding young. I do not recall seeing this bird before, but my best guess is a Grasshopper Sparrow. Can you help with this ID?

Looks like a female House Sparrow to me

I'm with Rob on this one. Female House Sparrow.

Thank you for your responses, gentlemen. I am embarrassed to see that you are correct. I think my quest for the unusual and exotic sometimes clouds my judgment.
