It's an Eurasian Hoopoe. It's a summer visitor here March-Sept..

Hoopoe - see quite a few of them around the mountains, and specifically in Kaya, where they like to nest. Beautiful and quite cheeky little things !

It's not a zebra finch Steve. Do a google check for pics and you'll see the difference.
