Hi Kay,

I certainly won't argue against the likely hood of it being a sycamore
from the standpoint of what is most common. But if it comes from a
park, it may be something different. That leaf is a pretty good
stretch, though of course possible.

Most sycamores have a less wide angle in the samara, but it's within the
normal range. To my eye the seed itself looks a little bit wrong, not
tear drop enough; but again within possible variation.

More information certainly would be needed to be sure.

Hm, scratty, I like that!
