This time of year in North Carolina, I'd say this is a juvenile Seaside Sparrow. Saltmarshes won't show up for a couple months.
Total birds seen: 370
Latest Lifers:
Lark Sparrow, Roseate Spoonbill, Painted Bunting

Juvenile Seaside for me, with those dark legs. I wouldn't expect that heavy, streaked spot on the breast of a Saltmarsh. I think the mouth being open plus the poor picture quality is distorting the bill color.
