This is a 2010 (2nd year)bird, but it seems to have characteristics of the northern race pyrrhula, looking at the "toothed" wing bar. It seems to have an extensive grey nape too.
This is just a suggestion for discussion before someone shoots me down  , obviously I wouldnt want to call it this or that without a close look or measurements.

I see a male and female the other day , one thing that strikes me about them is there beautiful song they have.so soft for a bullish looking bird..
