Little Brown Jobby at Mallory Park (Leicestershire) (1 Viewer)

[DaBeach]

Hi all,
Was at mallory park today for a race and noticed a large flock of little brown birds on some grass near the pits. Only had a phone to take a video with so a bit poor quality but I would appreciate any help identifying them/it. Thanks in advance.

I thought this at first bu the streaks on the chest imply not

Linnet, innit ?

Agree with Linnet, please note:

• the right chestnut brown colour on the back
• just visible pale greater covert wingbar
• dark moustachial stripe absent in Chaffinch

Cheers all for replies

Up here, little brown jobby, means something other than a bird.

Where I live it means a small brown bird that is not easy to identify
