Are we supposed to be guessing? Looks like a house finch or purple finch, colors would help.

I agree with debbie...housefinch. Add a little red to the top of the head and bib area.

Probably a dumb guess...but....here goes.

Is that by any chance a young painted, being as how we have all been waiting for pics.

The first thing to come to my mind was Chaffinch.

Emberiza citrinella, Yellow Hammer is my gess..

(I think its Yellow Hammer in english.. or maybe European Yellow Hammer, in Swedish its "Gulsparv" but the latin name is the same al ower the world offcourse

)
