What kind of bird is this?

There is a supermarket directly behind my studio, and usually when I'm at work, I find some reason or other to walk there. A cup of coffee, a snack, something to drink, a quick grocery run before going home. Sometimes I bring a camera with me. You never know when you might come across something photo-worthy! A few days ago this little guy was perched on the split rail fence between my building and the supermarket, and he sat still long enough for me to snap a couple of pictures of him. He's so cute! I'm afraid I know very little about birds. Surely someone can tell me what species he is. He has the most beautiful apricot colored plumage!
