For your house sparrow - is the top of the head grey or brown?
Brown would be a field (?) sparrow. Sorry, no proper translation for it.
But at least over here they are far less common than a house sparrow.
Or at least I haven't seen many in my life so far...

Looks brown.... It is heavily cut.

I have never really looked at the sparrows

Looks brown in the cropped version as well. $\O$ Not house sparrow then.

Lis & Mel,

The sparrow is a Tree Sparrow. $\O$ As well as the brown cap, check out the white cheeks with black markings on them as well.

Beware if you see one where you live now Lis, with a brown cap, as there is a hybrid of House and Spanish Sparrow that is sometimes called the "Italian" Sparrow. $\O$

Aha, it's called tree sparrow in English. Thanks, Dewi. $\O$

Methinks that I must start looking at the sparrows

Do Italian Sparrows eat spaghetti?

Not sure Flutt's, but Spätzle does translate as Little Sparrow.
