Nice capture. Not sure what it is. A close friend was recently on one of the Hawaiian Islands, Oahu (the one were Pearl Harbor is), and there are lots of strange birds we do not have in the Continental 48 States. One might have been "yours". He, I, and another friends sort of argued about ID'ing one of these unusual birds. It seems there are a good number of introduced species as well. A confusing mess. My reference, Merlin App, says possibly Common Wax-bill. Seems you have at least one other vote for that.

When I put 'Common Waxbill' into a search I get this

Pretty certain that is what you captured here.
