Who can tell me what I've got here?

This is what I found in one of my nest boxes today. One strange looking chicken

.

Looks like some kind of house sparrow!

She didn't budge until I reached for the eggs. I had this little bird glaring at me in one box and a broody hen bristling at me in the next. I was beginning to feel unwanted. Hope this bird wasn't sick and passing something on to my chickens.

You should take it out, it's probably shocked or sick. Get some gloves!

She flew the coop (literally) when I reached for the eggs.
