For anyone wondering. I did identify it in the end and it was Dunnock fledgling.
Image provided is a Dunnock fledgling. Perfectly matches what I had yesterday.
So yeah, bird was fine.

Awesome! Never heard of those- so cool to learn about a new bird and happy to hear it took off!
Btw your post also inspired me to build a couple of nest platforms I had the supplies for: https://dnr.maryland.gov/wildlife/PublishingImages/RobinNestShelf.jpg
So your action actually had pretty far spreading consequences - lots of positivity from caring for a single fledgling 
Ive got two mocking bird fledglings in my neighborhood right now, I can always find them because they're the loudest baby voiced squeakers around.
Adorable. Now it has a story about a nice human to tell all its friends
It's on birb lemmy asking about this giant, featherless birb that put a bunch of seed and water on the ground and kept looking at it
Hell yeah
You're free now birb fly away
