I believe this bird is a sparrow but I can’t say for sure. For the past month or so we’ve been visiting a wildlife garden as our favourite reserve is still closed after a recent storm. The garden attracts many smaller birds and I was pleased to capture this bird balancing on a twig in the water.

I third the goldfinch ID. A female, possibly already getting into winter plumage. Nice shots!

Good eye! Very nice photos. I think this may be an American goldfinch (immature, maybe?). It’ll be heading south soon…

Isn’t this a goldfinch? Are you in North America?
