lost without my sibley's...

Anybody know this bird? It sort of looks like a goldfinch - non-breeding male or possibly juvenile - but it's much warmer brown than I thought they got. Also, I don't remember it being quite as tiny as a goldfinch - more sparrowish. But it was this morning and I might be misremembering the size.

Update: a birder on Facebook confirmed it: American goldfinch, male, non-breeding plumage. So, not lost without the Sibley's, but more tentative.
