I spotted this bird in the trees at the bottom of my garden this morning. I cannot figure out what it is at all and I only managed a terrible pic before it flew of. It was a little bigger than a Greenfinch.

No doubt it's something very obvious!

I did wonder about a Waxwing but wasn't sure about the colouring?
