Just to follow up on this --

Responses leaned towards one of two answers:

Female house finch, with some pollen.

A goldfinch ( possibly a lesser, bob reiling thought a young male  
american).

Most people who responded felt it was a sparrow, and a sparrow  
"borrowing" a swallow's nest is expected behavior, I'm going to lean  
in that direction, although to be honest, comparing it to the  
pictures in Sibley's the beak makes me lean towards the goldfinch. It  
could be either from those shots.
