How about Fisher's Sparrow-lark? [link]

Oh, think you might be right! I have compared it to a few more pictures and they seem to be quite similar to 'my' bird. Thank you!

Perhaps something else from the Passer genus? [link]

Passer domesticus

That was one of my guesses as well but it has no grey on the head.

I've included this in our bird ID blog , hopefully someone there will know what it is! Let me know if you'd rather not have it up there

Hagenbeck seem to list all the animals they have on their website. Flipping through it right now.

SorrenFey In reply to oskila [2012-06-19 17:09:16 +0000 UTC]

No, not all. They have kois in their ponds and some big cat exhibits but they are not listed on their website. x3 At least I didn't see them there.

Well, the list seemed very meticulous at first glance, since there were all sorts of spiders and itty bitty fishies on it, but I didn't find our problem bird either

Could it possibly be a Spanish sparrow?

I was thinking about that one, too, but if I look at the picture below it seems to have the black spread differently on its chest and the stripe on the eye does not go as far behind.

Looks like an American sparrow, but I'm not quite sure. Amazing shot!
