Such a lovely image! Wonderful feather details! I love having so many bird experts available on 365 to confirm bird identification. I always look them up but sometimes I'm still not positive about the identification. :-)
It's an English house sparrow which is actually a kind of weaver finch native to England.
Here's what wildbirdhabitatstore.com has to say:
The English sparrow, commonly referred to as the house sparrow, is a species introduced into the United States in the mid 1800s. Brought over to this continent from England, this non-native bird is not actually a sparrow but a Weaver Finch, a sub-species of the more familiar Finch family. After numerous attempts to introduce this species into North America, the house sparrow became the most populous bird species on this continent by 1900.
