| | | unidentified Bird
Hi all,
I saw this bird in my parents garden in Germany. They have about 30 Goldfinches visiting and some Greenfinches and Great tits, Blue tits, a Treecreeper, Blackbirds and Colared doves. But this bird we could not indentify.
Regards,

I see a faint red breast and markings on wings. And possibly blue head. Could mean Chaffinch or Brambling

Looks like a Brambling to me- nice bird to have in your garden. |

Brambling 
I think it's female, but will await expert opinion.

My first impression it is a Brambling though it could be a Chaffinch. I plump for the Brambling!

The white belly, lack of pale wing bar, presence of dark line on back of head rules out chaffinch. Plus more orangy red breast compared to a brown/red of a chaffinch. |

I'll jump on the Brambling bandwagon, too! |

I'd agree with Brambling, probably female. | | |
