Looks to be a siskin.

My wife suggested a Siskin, initially it seemed too small and I am used to seeing them from behind with more colour variation on the wing, but agree a Siskin.

I would have thought siskin too ,we have just started having them come to our garden and I had to ask what they were ,,but ours have a bit more green on them

Male Siskin. Looks to be in breeding plumage, so quite yellow, with a nice clean black cap.

100% siskin, they are quite small birds.
