Unknown Bird

Oakland, MD

Noticed this bird out with the English Sparrows day before yesterday.
Not one I'm familiar with, and am having trouble IDing it. I was thinking maybe a scarlet tanager but its orange butt, and head are throwing me a bit.
If someone could confirm one way or the other it would be great. Managed to get a couple of far away pics yesterday, then blew them up to the best of my ability lol.
Hope someone recognizes it!
Taken on the eastern shore of virginia.
Next to the english sparrows for size comparison.

The others are House Sparrows ('English' is an outdated name)
