Looks like it may be a Northern Flicker but if the head is as dark as it looks that's a bad guess.

i posted on your facebook photo earlier and that was my guess too northern flicker. I had asked if you saw any red on neck or head. that would be a sure sign.

Ok...so I believe Google helped me ID this as a zebra finch. Looks like it's native to Australia! Must be someone's escaped pet? Wonder how he's doing today? He's a long way from home here in NE FL.

As whwo said: Yellow-rumped Warbler is a good guess. The winter plumage of the males is much more muted - check the adult female on the bottom of the All About Birds link. Claire
