[LRflex] sort of off-topic: can you identify this bird?

Off-topic, because it's not taken with Leica gear - but that's
because I only today won a bid on a Telyt 400/6.8 (+ shoulderstock,
for 250 EUR) and, of course, it hasn't arrived yet :)
Also, this makes no pretense at being an artistic shot. I just
grabbed what I could get, 200 mm (ie. 320 @ f/4) handheld.

The tail is actually a brighter yellow-orange, whilst the other
specimens have had a more sparrow-coloured body (I seem to recall).
The TIFF image is more saturated on my display. I uploaded the TIFF
as well, but it looks the same as the jpg in my browser. :(
This was taken today, in my garden, in Munich. It's bigger than a
sparrow, and smaller than a blackbird. (The other birds I know are
crow, duck and swan :-)
As an aside, where can I get Leica to Canon adapters ?
Thanks,
colin
