Michael, unless you know the difference between Vicia disperma and Vicia hirsuta on sight, I would prefer to say Vicia sp. Both Plantnet and Vicflora separate them mainly on whether the calyx teeth are almost the same length as each other and pods are 6-12 mm long and hairy (hirsuta) or the calyx teeth are unequal and the pods are 12-20 mm long and hairless (disperma). Neither of these characters can be seen in the photo.
