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)

You may well be right as our starlings usually migrate (locally to the south) but the big bachelor juvenile groups are still about eating us out of house and home as are our blackbirds.
