Nice photo - the new buds give a spring feeling!
FYI, I'm pretty sure it's a Field Sparrow.

Lovely image Mike! Good detail with nice detail and sweet soft light, and I like the way the maple flowers complement the plumage colours.

Credit where its due Mike, and I only wish I could get it right sometimes - I meant to say ''Good detail with nice pose and sweet soft light''
