I think it's a female sparrow, most likely Spanish given that it was associated with some. The light is making it look yellow.

This bird was definitely yellow and different from all the sparrows who were making a terrible noise, this bird was just sat there watching what was going on. I have posted another picture to see if it helps.

I agree with Andrew, this bird is a Passer and I think that you with some confidence could id it as a Spanish Sparrow. You can see a tendency of dark flank streaking.
