Looks like a female Italian Sparrow to me. So I dont think it would be a year rounder.

If its no fun Yer no doin it right!
guys taken in this country and thinking is between warblers and finchers...
Hi Derek
I think MarJus is correct with female House Sparrow.
It doesn't match any finches. It isn't a Chiffchaff because it doesn't have black legs.
The beak, the legs and the colouring of the eye area and the breast all point to female House Sparrow.
Best wishes Chris

I agree with and MarJus and Chris, I think its a female House Sparrow.
I will say female house sparrow, as the superciliary stripe is too thick to be that of the migrant willow warbler or chiffchaff. But I'm no expert!
Hi,

With the chunkiness of the beak you can rule out anything warblerish straight away. Agree female House Sparrow.
Every day a little more irate about bird of prey persecution, and I have a cat - Got a problem with that?
