Unknown yellow bird

[dave3381]

I took a photo last weekend in staffordshire of a yellow bird with black head stripes about the size of a sparrow maybe a bit smaller, i've done some searching and cant seem to id it. I cant add the photo to this post as it exceeds the file size. Its on my tumblr page if I'm allowed to post a link to that I will. Can anyone help? thanks. Oh and this website is going to eat up a lot of my time now I've come across it.

Hello, Dave.

Sounds like it could be a yellowhammer to me.

Cheers. Nik.

Could be a yellowhammer or even an escaped cage bird. I think it's ok to post a link to your tumblr though.
