A sparrow! At first I would've said Pidgeon, but it looks too close to a sparrow to me.

I'd say that it's just a generic bird, drawing inspiration from various species. However, if I had to pick a single species that most reminds me of Pidgey, I'd have to go with the Carolina Wren. Just give it a thicker beak and ruffle its "hair" a bit and voila!

EDIT: Pidgey also bears some resemblance to the Horned/Shore Lark.

Actually, Pidgeys are from the brown sparrows.
There are plenty of brown sparrows here in the philippines.
I also saw some big sparrows i think that's their adult form already?
just a guess?

for anyone looking at this in the future because the thread is pretty old I want you to look up what a house finch looks like and i think that is the bird that looks the most like pidgey
That's really interesting and I can definitely see it being true. Though the sparrow still looks really close to me too!

Pidgey closely resembles various passerine birds such as sparrows, chickadees, waxwings, and wrens
