Help with bird id please

[Kally]

I spotted this bird in my garden on Saturday amongst the sparrows, great tits and bullfinches, it is about the same size as a bull finch, with a similar beak. The head was black with a light ring around the eye, the chest was reddish brown and the back a striking gold. I cannot find anything about this bird so assume it is an escapee but any help identifying it would be appreciated.
I'm having trouble attaching the picture of it, but it is in the Gallery entitle Unidentified Finch type bird.
Thanks

This one?

Looks like on of the weavers (an escapee)

black headed weaver ?

Yellow backed or village weaver escapee...quite capable of surviving here if the winter is fairly mild...bit lonely for it though

Many thanks all for the suggestions - it definately looks like a weaver then, just not too sure of which one. It seemed quite happy amongst the other birds so hopefully might survive or find it's way back to it's aviary.

I think the colouring on the chest excludes the village or the yellow-backed (alt. black-headed) weaver - My guess would be that of the cinnamon weaver - a species endemic to The Sudan

[Picidae]

It's a Jackson's Golden Backed weaver - not the first time they've turned up in people's gardens (obviously an escape!)

Somebody give that man a fish - spot on, it is a Jacksons Golden Backed Weaver. Thank you all very much for your help.
