Anyone any idea

Who this little chap is? He's been visiting our front area for some days. Smaller than a sparrow or dunnock but bigger than a wren with an insectivore's beak and beautiful regular markings. Obviously European and a British known species as that's where we are.







Update

Thanks to the_godiva  for a lead. The little visitor is a female little bunting according to our bird recognition books.

Our gravel covered front area obviously contains lots of things to her liking. :o)

Sadly, all I can see is Wren, as it looks so much like the ones we had as 'boarders' in the unused mail box this year. But I'm American.

Not a wren as I'n very familar with them and this little one isn't one.
