| | | Redpoll with no red?
Not much red on this but it looks like a juvenile redpoll from the wings, bill shape and nyger feeding.
Could somebody help confirm the identification please? |

The white balance looks very "warm" on my display, but I would suggest female Siskin.
Trik |

Not Siskin or Twite as a red forehead can be seen- even though the extent of this is limited.
Either female/1st winter Lesser Repoll. |

yes, I noticed that colour patch, but put it as a trick of the light - my big concern was no bib...............

Again there does appear to be the start of a bib. I think most likely a 1st- winter bird which is why the red/bib are somewhat reduced. |

Ah, now with that shot, I can see a sign of bib and poll!  
I concur.
