I found this bird when I came back home. I have never seen a bird like this. Also, she is not moving even if I touch her slightly.

5$\begingroup$ Welcome to Biology Stack Exchange. For species ID questions, it is often helpful to include some information on where and when the animal was found: for birds, information on the location (i.e., country / state / province) and local environment (coastal, forested, urban, etc) would be especially helpful. $\endgroup$– bshaneAug 4, 2017 at 15:39

It's a scaly breasted munia or spotted munia (Lonchura punctulata). A relatevely common bird in captivity, probably escaped from someone cage? (check for rings)
Here a picture from the web:
Here you find more facts about it:

1$\begingroup$ One key feature for bird identification is the beak/bill — the bird in question has a heavy almost triangular beak. Wrens have much more delicate beaks as can be clearly seen in the pictures you posted. This kind of mistake is one of the reasons answers for this type of question should include a detailed explanation of the features that support the identification ... $\endgroup$– tyersomeAug 11, 2022 at 6:10
