Bird ID at Menotomy Rocks

[David B]

I've been trying to ID a particular little bird who frequents the cattails at the pond, around the stone retaining wall. It's a little sparrow-like bird who is there year-round. I've only seen one at a time. Maybe there is only one. It is streaky brown and quick-moving. It usually flits away just as I focus on it. I don't see any tell-tale clues. It makes no particular call. Its activity and habitat are quite distinctive, though, and I usually see it at the park. So perhaps others know this bird and someone knows just who it is. Thanks.
