That's a Great Tit (ehemmm...), a favourite wild bird of many in my country of origin in Europe.
Here in Indonesia a gray-bellied race is a popular cagebird:

It is a very nice and charming bird in its own right, but one of those softbills I would rather not put together with other species - especially after seeing this video:

Btw, My Fair Lady is one of my favourite oldies.

I wouldn't advise keeping softbills with finchest just because finch food is generally much more inexpensive than softbill food. So to keep the food bill down you may want to house them alone.

A member here and a friend of mine keeps a large flight with softbills and finches. There are Starlings, Tanagers, Dacnis, Honey Creepers, Waxbills, Mannikans, and a few other speces mixed in and they do fine together. I wouldn't recommend breeding them that way as she usually has to pull pairs out of the large flight to breed them but if you're housing the birds together just to enjoy having them I wouldn't see a problem with it.

I don't think he's artificial Colt. I'm sure I saw him blink. LOL. My guess would be some sort of an owl baby, but I have no idea what kind.

Everytime I look at pictures of different birds frim around the world, I find some new lovelies that make my heart beat a little faster. I know that I can't have them all, but hey, a girl can dream, can't she?
