I'm not a bird person but a quick search of the internet confirmed my suspicions that this might be a House Sparrow. It would help if you had other views but the white spot on the wing seems to match.

Many thanks.
If you bird in the least, you should own a copy of Peterson Field Guide to Eastern Birds. I have the Western, Eastern, Texas, and Mexican Field Guides. If you are one who can work better from photos, the Audubon Society has a few series of good bird guides. Nation Geographic as well.
A quick look through my Western guide than was near by, I can't tell as the colors seem way-off in your image (shifted far orange). It is possibly a juvenile or female Finch or Sparrow. It looks like it has a defect to its beak. Kinda odd. You'll need a local or someone to check for your area to ID it.

Agreed, House Sparrow. We have them all over California and were surprised when we lived in England that they had them there as well!

And in Australia. Considered a pest in Western Australia and if one is identified, out go the hunting parties. Personally, I love them.
