Could be a chaffinch? In which case yes it's the male. Not sure how
long it will continue - potentially as long at the breeding season! I
think if you tape some newspaper behind the pane in question the
reflection becomes less obvious to the bird and he'll leave it alone.
I don't think he'll hurt himself but he must be pretty astonished at
how rock hard his opponant is!!!

A quick google found me details & photo's, and it is a chaffinch, hardly rare I see.

I hope he manages to last until his kids fly off. We have put a feeder near by so he doesn't have to go far to eat.
