Just wanted to check if this is a juvenile male. The colours seem a little lighter, and it looks a bit different. It's probably just the light, but I guess it doesn't hurt to check.

What do you think, please?

They are a wee bit duller in the winter months!

Thanks everyone who replied.

I knew it couldn't be anything else except a male Chaffinch, although I wasn't sure if it might be a juvenile. But I've got in the habit of posting for confirmation if any bird looks a little different.
