My expert confirms it is a Sora - I stand corrected.
@ bee - pretty much all of the reasons stated below. I just sent it and all the associated descriptions to a friend of mine whose specialty is wetland birds. I'll let you know what he says.

Looks like a St. John's Wort, but IDK about the spikey-looking things...
I concur with what you are thinking :)
Looks like a carpet python to me
