If so, which type please.

Photographed in May in northern Denmark (Klitmøller).

Thanks for your help.

Yes, redpoll. They have clines and lots of individual variation, and many of us are happy just to leave it at that 👍🏻

Thank you! I didn't know this species was so hard to identify. I guess it's either Common or Lesser then. Certainly not Hoary?

A supergene underlies linked variation in color and morphology in a Holarctic songbird - Nature Communications

Trait genetic architecture influences how populations evolve and adapt. Genomic analysis finds that an inversion links genetic variation controlling redpoll finch color and bill shape, allowing the maintenance of latitudinal ecotypes despite a genome largely homogenized by gene flow.

What about the genetic distance between capuchino seedeaters?

Is it fair to say it looks good for a Common Redpoll judging by the features in: Focus On: the redpolls are coming?
