Same family, could be a species or vetch
The leaves are much narrower than a picture I found on the 'Net of a
common Vetch.
Seedlings don't always look like mature plants, which is why I wouldn't
attempt an identification to species, and in this case the number of
leaflets is lower than one expects in a major plant, but the tares (3
species, but hairy tare, Vicia hirsuta, is much the commonest) have
narrower leaflets than common vetch. (I can recognise 5 species of vetch
in flower and fruit, but not from the foliage.)
I seem to recall Lathyrus heterophylus (spell?) looks similar at seedling
stage
