Hi,
This one has me stumped. (I'm using David Bird's Birds of Western Canada 2nd Ed. and internet images; let me know if I should be using other resources.)
The bird was in the marshy ditch just inland of the Richmond dikes, about 1 km north of Point Garry around midday. I see a distinctive rufous(?) head pattern and no particularly distinct wing pattern. The head pattern seems similar, but not quite the same as American tree, Nelson's and Lincoln's sparrows and the these sparrows have distinct wing patterns. The head colours also seem off, at least for Nelson's sparrow.
What do you think?
