    I don't think this is a house sparrow, they should have some brown and black feathers. Posted 10 years ago

        It could be a warbler but it is hard to tell which one, several species are found in India and at least a few of them look alike.

          It is not a warbler either. It is a Pale-billed Flowerpecker Posted 5 years ago

The Pale-billed flowerpecker

The pale-billed flowerpecker or Tickell's flowerpecker is a tiny bird that feeds on nectar and berries, found in India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and western Myanmar. The bird is common especially in urban gardens with berry bearing trees. They have a rapid chipping call and the pinkish curved beak separates it from other species in the region.
