 BirdForum - What bunting
Yellow.breasted Bunting and Chestnut Bunting are the other possibilities but they can be both ruled out, the latter does not have a yellow collar and the former is far too 'multicoloured' to match your description.
bunting but the area round the eyes was eye catchingly fl, I thought maybe a young male, I never had a chance / time to get a photo of this one though it showed well over the 2 days to as close as 7mtrs.
Black-headed Bunting is a good possibility, though it doesn't sound 100% right for this bird, B-hB is same size as Yellowhammer (though size can be very hard to judge on a peculiar habitat like an oil rig!), and females are darkest on the crown, not around the eyes.

 Yellow--breasted Bunting
Scarcely able to believe I was about to grip back the bird only two years after Filey's first (I was messing about on a boat in 1994) I skirted the bunting to get the sun behind me. As I circled round, the bird merely turned its head to watch me barely 15 yards distant.
A thick set bunting with a relatively short tail and a substantial two tone bill.

He made a conservative estimate that 18,440 birds were sold in one place during the course of the year.
Of these 12% were Yellow-breasted Bunting and only 0.4% Red Avadavat (62% of the total were Scaly-breasted Munia or Baya Weaver).
From my casual observations my guess is that these relative figures haven't changed much today.

Certainly there is therefore evidence that the population of Red Avadavats appears to have plummetted since the early part of the century.

 [No title]
Most buntings are confined to open to semi-open habitats, farmland or steppe, some species also in rocky, hilly landscapes.
The general rule is that older males are more yellow than younger ones and that the sizes of the yellowish patches increases for several years.
The origin of most yellow, as well as red and orange coloration, are the carotenoids which is a large group of terpenoid compounds being widely distributed in nature.
