Oh dear. We appear to have some conflicting identifications. Personally, though, this does look more like a weaver to me. Let's see what a possible third party thinks.

This is a Chestnut Munia methinks. Compare the two images of the species suggested:

even more confusing Central Park lists the weaver as a species held.

I'd say this was the weaver based on those images - compare the eye.
