2. linnet
3. zebra finch (escape)

Coverts are too richly buff, I think.

3, god have mercy on its soul
Why not?
Partial leucistic (pied), of course. But short square black tail, red legs, greyish/brown back?

No one mentioned that it´s a bird from the nomate form. Good that one of my friends breeds zebra finches (my daughter once too) and won the world championship exhibition many times.The zebra finch is named for the black and white cross stripes on the tail.
