Is this a male Lesser Redpoll??? (1 Viewer)

This Redpoll was feeding on my Niger seed feeder for most of today with some Goldfinches, I was really pleased, as I've never seen one in my garden! I know the pics are a bit blurry, but would anyone be able to confirm it as a male Lesser Redpoll? My dad is a very keen birder, ringer and nest finder, and he says it's probably a Lesser Redpoll, but he has trouble with some photos with red on, as he's colourblind!

Many thanks, Amber.

Thank you very much for your help! I only had the one all day, I kept looking for others, but it was just him that followed the Goldfinches down to feed. Although he was smaller, he did occasionally chase the Goldfinches!
