Is this female and juvenile siskin? (1 Viewer)

[JayFeatherPL]

Are these birds siskins? If yes, the second siskin looks like a juvenile siskin, but it's the middle of the winter (06.01.24) and it should have an adult plumage. I took this photo through telescope; the birds were under the feeder. There were only four birds, and shouldn't they forage in big groups? I have more photographs and a video if needed.

These should be Yellowhammers => buntings. The two more contrasting ones are probably males, while the one in the background is a female/immature.

EDIT: Siskins usually feed high up in trees (often in alders); Yellowhammers are ground feeders.

In summer, there's another confusion species: Serin.
