Hmm that is a bit hard, never heard of it, but some heavy googling came up with -

Swallow Tanager (Tersina viridis)

The bill is too small for a starling I think and judging by the background of other picture it's not a big bird as the scale of the photo's appears similar. So smallish and tit like as the bill is similar to the blue tit, definitely not finch or sparrow like, the bill is the wrong shape.

Dunnock perhaps? Or if I've got the size wrong a thrush of some sort, perhaps fieldfare by the bill?

Just to confuse you, I had to catch one of these last Tuesday, it was in Coventry and a juvenile. I also used to have one and was the most rewarding animal/human experience I have ever had. Remarkably intelligent species unlike any other of it's family I have handled (except one maybe). Very dignified animal and possibly my top personal favourite.
