[Wizzle]

Assumed Greenfinch (Nov 2012) but why the very yellow back? It does't seem to match in any of my reference books.

Canary? (or am I now going to look like a fool?)

Greenfinch for me....lot of light on it maybe account for the hue.

That's funny because I thought that too... and didn't want to say. But is it a bit too long in the bill for Canary?

It probably is Eur. Greenfinch. The amount of light probably accounts for the brightness of the rump / up.t.c. The wings look a bit long for Eur. Greenfinch (angle of bird?) and the bill looks 'wrong'. Avicultural hybrid?

it's a greenfinch, a female does have a yellower rump, but it can be surprising the first time you notice it. The wing length is also correct.
