Hi
Another ID please but I am excited about this one 
I didnt realise what I had taken a picture of as I was just trying to focus my lens on "a bird"  (Poor picture - Very over exposed)

The beak looks a bit too dainty for brambling, more nearer a goldfinch beak, but what appear to be darkish legs and little breast colouration point me towards female chaffinch.
Cheers

Hi
I have cropped the picture and tried to take the over exposure off - here is how it came out
The chest feathers appear white to me

Looking more like a female Chaffinch to me! Head shape suggests a Fringilla sp. |

Yes, it's female Chaffinch.
Note the pointed upper mandible, dark legs and pale collar amongst other things.
The colour of the breast is just burnt out by over exposure. |
