Are there other babies still in the nest? If so, trying to put this one back in may spook some or all of the others to fly out. It looks like it is just about fledgling age, it could have just gotten too close to the opening of the nest, or sometimes parents even can knock a baby out accidentally. If this is the only baby, then you certainly could try putting it back in the nest.
