Pin-tailed Whydah, from Africa, so I'd imagine it's hopped out of a cage!

Reports of Pin-tailed Whydahs are surprisingly frequent in southern California where their numbers are presumably kept up by a near constant stream of escapes. They must be very popular as pets down there. Breeding in the wild is unlikely, since they're obligate nest parasites & none of their traditional hosts is native to North America.
