Mid Lothian Scotland - linnet maybe? (1 Viewer)

[TomMalcC]

Needing help with this bird(s) I photographed today - bright cold sunny day.
Saw a flock of 20ish flying and making a high pitched "trilling" call - mixed woodland.
Six or so settled in the top of a larch tree and these are the (poor) photos I managed. I'm presuming they are linnets?

Thoughts?

Redpolls. The first looks a bit pale, so perhaps a Common rather than Lesser.

Sunlight plus slight overexposure (no offence).

Possibly, which is why I wasn't sure. Would like to see other photos.

Looks a bit like it's ringed as well.

I've added 3 more photos - they may be helpful. That's the lot.
