I was going for Lincolns but wanted to conform before posting on ebird.

Sussex county, NJ, USA. Oct

Looks good to me.

After going through the Google images for this Sparrow, looks good for me as well.

Based on the intensely rufous wings and overall "blended" appearance to the face and upper chest (less fine streaking and sharp borders), I think this one's a Swamp Sparrow.

Agree with Swamp Sparrow. Lincoln's would have a buffy eye ring as well.

I concur with Swamp Sparrow - in addition to the points made above, I'd add those buffy lower flanks and faint blurry streaks on chest and flanks.

Agree with Swamp Sparrow. Lincoln's have finer streaks, among other things.
