I agree with those who have identified this bird as a female house finch.
Here is a link to a good comparison picture from Cornell Lab:

Hi,

   Would some kind soul help with the ID for this bird?
I've searched Merlin using several different approaches and can not develop
a certainty of sufficient strength.
   I have some guesses but am holding off on those until I hear from someone
about their ID.

   There are several other recent photos there that you might enjoy also.
Just use the 'arrows' to move forward or backward in the gallery.
