Yep it'a a female chaffinch alright, but tbh I'm a bit concerned as I think it may have Trichomonas Defra, UK - Disease surveillance and control - Veterinary surveillance - Garden bird deaths
I've seen quite a few round here with it over the past couple of years and it seems to be spreading

Could this birds appearance not be due to it being sat on a bird bath having just washed? |
