Nikon 5100 Nikkor 55-300 zoom asa 400 f 5.6 iso 50 These birds are very friendly toward people and rely on humans for water they are usually found hanging around the water bucket etc. I may have misidentified the bird but it sure looked like the one in the book I was looking at I am open for suggestions .

This looks to be a House Sparrow?

I think Mia is right. A male House Sparrow. Tough light.

I agree, House Sparrow. Nice to see one in such nice habitat rather than on a fence or eave trough. I would suggest trying to put the bird subject in an off-center location for a more esthetic composition.
