Chaffinch?
nope
If it were a Hawfinch, I'd have a whole series of quiz-worthy photos, not just one. So, no.
EDIT: @Stu57 Come on--it was a decent guess.

Hello,
at first I thought the smooth peachy cream are good for a Northern Wheater, a Common Redstart or a Brambling, I am puzzled now.
All Wheatear should have gone by end of october, its rare for a Redstart to show more intense hues on the breast than on the flanks (like in this bird) so my guess would be a Brambling.
If this is right, the contrasts are reduced due to picture quality.

Neither of the three, unfortunately. (I have a real talent for taking such photos, you see.)

A Goldcrest it is indeed.
As an aside, I had trouble nailing the ID myself, but--fortunately--I remembered what I was photographing, and I had the eBird checklist from that day to consult.
