Hi JB and a warm welcome to you from all the Staff and Moderators. I;'ve moved your post to the ID forum as you're more likely to have a name put to your bird there.

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I look forward to hearing your news.

I'm presuming the US Mono, but which state/town is open for grabs LOL

Sounds like Cassin's finch, if you're west of the Rockies. Except that male Cassin's chest isn't streaky. Also take a look at house finch, which would be my second guess in the West and my first guess in the East, and has a habit of nesting close to people.
