I believe the common name is "spice finch" according to the bird books ( and finch books ) that I have. The scientfic name is " Lonchura punctulata" and they are listed with other mannikins, such as black headed nuns. ( The Aviary in Goulds sells both of these all the time).
Obviously, escaped pets!
