Bird ID

Another one for you experts. Saw a small bird yesterday in grass/parklnd....on a cricket field to be exact. There was a pair of them on the ground presumably going through the grass as it had just been cut.
The birds were the size of a sparrow....infact i thought they were sparrows at first until they flew off. They then revealed a yellow flash either down their sides and /or on their wings.
They also flew like blue tits...flap wings for a second, glide for a second and so on. Their underlying colour was similar to a female sparrow.
Any ideas? This was in Lewes, East Sussex.
