I know it's a long shot, but anyone have any idea what species this chick is? It was with 3 other siblings in a nest in a cavity under the eves of a house. The home owner had no choice but to take the chicks out and cover the hole. (the nest was "leaking" into the interior of the house. I believe they were turned over to a bird rescue outfit.

I'd say starling on nesting location and it doesn't look like a house sparrow
