My guess is female Purple Finch. Do you have other images showing the front and maybe the undertail coverts?
Definitely Purple Finch. I still have some at my feeders from this winter. The bold face pattern with no little stripes, just broad dark and light, is a good mark. The forked tail is also unusual for most (not all) species of sparrow.
