What bird's feather? Iran (1 Viewer)

[Shahrzad]

A friend of mine sent this photo a few days ago.
According to the size of the toilet paper on which the feathers are placed and its size is about 11 cm,
it is possible that the feathers are related to what species.
Thank you for your attention and help.

Do you know the location where these were found, and the date? And whether they were found in the wild or are from a cagebird?

I should asked him these details. Thank you

As my friend mentioned, it was in a park in the city and it was the summer season.
Is it possible that the feathers belong to the Eurasian Golden Oriol?

I guess it's possible (?), but I can't find a perfect match here, so maybe not:

no idea what it is but definitely not a Eurasian Golden Oriole.

Hi
Were you told which city it was?

Apart from the yellow colour, the feathers look very much like the tail feathers of domestic pigeons to me. I don't know if it is also common in Iran, but in some countries owners mark their pigeons with colour. This is practised particularly excessively in Spain, see for example here: The Spaniards who paint their pigeons in Day-Glo colours – in pictures

Screenshot from a recent video I was watching on YouTube- I think feral pigeon is a good shout.

The Yellow Finch shown is a Great Tit, Parus Major. So unlikely.

Yes, the photo is of a Great Tit, Spinus tristis is American Goldfinch, 'Yellow Finch' is not a species name but a genus name, and none of the three taxa above fits the attached description (black face + inhabits savanna).

EDIT: On a more serious note, the closest I got before I bumped into that website was also a finch, White-winged Grosbeak - BirdForum Opus (because of the combination of black, yellow and white), but it didn't fit, unfortunately.
