Welcome to the forum.  I don't know if I can help with this ID.  Where do you live?

It really doesn't look much like anything native.  I suspect it's some type of tropical finch, escaped from its cage.  That would also help explain the behavior.

I, too, will be of no help.  But when I first saw the picture, the thought that came to my mind was "Brambling".  I don't think it is.  But it's what I thought.  For what that's worth.   :wink:

Julian thinks it may be a Juvenile or Female Evening Grosbeak.

its most likely a escaped canary

I think it may be a canary also, good eye frozenice7885.

How about first fall Rose-breasted Grosbeak.

That's a juvenile rose breasted grosbeak
