Any Thoughts on This UK Bird, Please? (1 Viewer)

[Hettie's Bird Spots]

Hi everyone, can you help with this bird, please? I saw it this morning in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. There seemed to be a group of them moving from tree to tree too quickly, and just too far away, for me to get any decent pics; these are cropped ones, and the bird is having a preen, which doesn't help either! I'm still a novice, and thought at first it was a linnet, but looking in my bird book I noticed it had bars on it's wings - could it be a Lesser Redpoll???

It's a redpoll, and Lesser Redpoll is the default redpoll option where you are (rather than Common Redpoll).

Once again, thank you so much for your help!
