Please can anyone advise as to species with the bird here. Also is it female or male please. Any help appreciated.

Hello,
its one of the Redpolls. But which species/subspecies. I must admit, that I avoided this question most time.

Suggest it looks like the "standard" lesser redpoll.

I concur as regards the frustrations of Alex and Butty, but am grateful to The Fern for his helpful suggestion which appears to me in hindsight to be correct. A nice little brown job. Thank you Ian

Thank you so much. I didn't realize it had a ring on its leg until I saw the photo
