Juvenile Greenfich ?

[Chocky]

I think this is either a Juvenile Greenfinch or a male in winter coat
Franky it looks like neither.
So over to you

Looks to me like a female Chaffinch Beryl, but can't see enough of it.

I thought that at first and gave uit some contrast but it still looked as though it had too much green
Here is on as from the camera just cropped ans reduced slightly

I think you are right it ias a female Chaffinch . The sunshine is making the brownish green more greenish which is what confused me

Looks like a female winter plumage Greenfinch Beryl but the colour is pretty misleading. Wonder why the colouration looks so 'odd' in this image?

Greenfinch rather than Chaffinch in my opinion Beryl.

That is what I found in my book and found just this . But have found that to be a bit unreliable. I still think there is too much green for the chaffinch.
But I think we''ll leave it here as it needs to be easily identifiable really to go into the Forum
Thank you for your help. Rolf and Pete

Yes, in the light of the last photo, it has to be a Greenfinch.

My original thoughts were a Greenfinch but perhaps I gave it a bit too much contrast
Thanks Rolf
