likely ID
Reed Bunting (
Emberiza schoeniclus
)

Confidence:
It's likely to be this, but I can't be certain.
Notes:
I think the cheeks look rather dark and a bit lacking in colour for Little Bunting. There seems to be a lack of dark and pale spot at the rear of the cheeks, too, which Little usually shows. Difficult to see whether the culmen is straight, as in Little, but it's not noticeably so.
