Hello,

yes its a Goldcrest. Wing pattern is unique (shared with Firecrest) and spikey bill shape is also good.
Wings are fresh, so I think its a juvenile bird. Head pattern is difficult to Judge due to moult and replaced feathers, but the adult pattern should still be visible if this was an adult bird?
