I thought it was a coal or willow tit but I am not sure?

It has the typical 'tit' black bib but a brown down the side of his eyes.....hmmm

He may be moulting or something but he is definately a sparrow.

He's so cute! Fledgling house sparrow just getting his proper feathers. He's an early bird (no pun inteded!).
