Hi everyone
A couple of days ago (18/08/18) I ran into this small finch at 2500 meters above sea level, in the western part of the Italian Alps (colle del Nivolet, Parco Nazionale del Gran Paradiso). The environment was alpine meadows with rock escarpments, close to a mountain chalet. I am thinking about Citril Finch, a young individual dispersing above its usual habitat of coniferous forest. It appears, however, a bit weird and I would like some opinions on how to exclude Serin (if possible). I have other pictures if you think that some particular needs some more attention!
Thank you in advance for your help and my best wishes to everyone
