Got a weird result treating an alkyl azido with stannous chloride

So I treated an alkyl azido group with stannous chloride expecting to get the amine. But based on the molecular weight from an LCMS it can only be a carboxylic acid, an oxime, or a hydrazine. A very knowledgable chemist said it is probably the hydrazine because as surprising as that is the others make even less sense. Can I get a second opinion here please.
