Help with identification please

This small bird was found on my front verandah - possibly after colliding with a window. I checked bird finder and my Readers Digest Australian birds without success. The bird is about the same size as a double barred finch. Central West NSW (near Mudgee). Can anyone help?

Hard to tell from that angle, could be a Diamond Firetail, maybe a juvenile.
