Like they say, it's a Sora. The black face and bib are diagnostic.

If the Florida book you are referring to is a Bird Book, this bird should definitely be in it. It would probably be near the front of the book. It is a SORA. It belongs to a family of birds called Rails. Those are very nice pictures! I look forward to seeing more of your photos.
