| | | What sort of Finch is this?
Going by the beak shape, I'd say this was a finch. The fairly dull colour suggests it's a female, but what sort of finch?   |

House sparrow for me! Female or young male by the looks!

Thanks Raptorman - house sparrows do live around the spot where I shot this one, but it looked a lot slimmer and with more uniform plumage than I thought was typical of a sparrow. |

Thanks everyone - I have learned something. I attach this, taken seconds after the sparrow shot, only to make my identification score 1/3 rather than zero!  |
