The hole head looks to be dark and the tail is also dark

I would say you have a female house sparrow here Chocky, the size, colour, shape and notice the goldy colour stripe behind the eye

Oh right Thanks

I thought it was a female Chaffinch at first .

If it had been a female Chaffinch Chocky it would have had a white stripe in it's wing. Nice shots btw

Hi Beryl,

Here is the female chaffinch to help compare the wings and notice no eye stripe in line with the eye
