I'm not sure what type of bird this is, but he looks pretty young. I think he was waiting for his mom to digest some seeds from the feeder and regurgitate them to him. Can anyone help me identify? I'm thinking he's some type of house finch. I've got a lot of those around here.

The young ones look so different from the adults. I would guess more along the lines of a sparrow.
Darn it! I don't want any more sparrows. They keep the native birds away. :(
It's a little bird, all right!
Cute, too!
Can't help it - Jacob is right. A cute one it is. Those legs don't seem very stable and confident yet.
Sparrow c'est moineau, non ? Je trouve qu'il ressemble à un moineau mais bon sorti du rouge-gorge, de la mésange, du merle, de la mouette et du cardinal, je n'y connais rien. Il est mimi, on dirait qu'il va faire le grand écart !
It looks like a house finch to me, but I'm no expert. He's a cutie!
Hi! I just stumbled across your blog. I am a native Mississippian, but have only lived in Jackson for a year and a half. I enjoyed looking at your pictures, some places I am familiar with and some not, so I will have to check them out. If you don't mind, I would like to add your link to my blog.
I have not idea what it is, but I like the pose!
i think he's a sparrow too.
quite a cutie btw. Reminds me of Tweetie :)
What a great shot! I think he's cute, too. I didn't know sparrows kept away other birds! :(
eonyc: I didn't know that sparrows were so mean either until I started reading about them lately. House sparrows were brought from England and they have a bad habit of overriding bluebirds, a native species.
This first link is pretty graphic.
