Update: I had it wrong. It’s the female house finch in the video. There’s a Cowbird egg in the nest along with the Hose Finch eggs in the nest that the House Finch built. According to Dr. @kimsmithdesigns and Robert Paterson Brown Headed Cowbirds =No Bueno. If I understand them correctly Cowbirds lay their eggs in the nests of other birds and disrupt the feeding of those birds when they hatch. . @kfoley41 Look! I Got A Video! A lot of patience and a lot of arm holding outstretched while hiding behind the wall. This is on our front door behind the spring wreath Kate put out. #backshoreliving #GloucesterMA
Good Morning Gloucester 
Beg pardon, but that appears to be the female house finch because of the very slight curve of the upper beak and the diffuse streaking of her feathers. I could be wrong. The female cowbird and the female house finch look very much alike.

Excellent video of a female House Finch nesting! Often times Cowbirds come back to to check on the egg that they deposited but they don’t sit on the eggs in the nest.
Cowbirds lay their eggs in many, many species of bird’s nests, 220 different species documented, including American Robins, Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, and several raptors. I read somewhere awhile back that a female Cowbird may lay up to 35 eggs per season – in other bird’s nests!!
