Here's one for ya!

Question

Ok guys and gals, since I've been on here a bit now, I'll post a little teaser for your good selves. If you're an experienced birder, this one should pose little problem. IF SO, PLEASE HANG FIRE, AND LET SOMEONE WHO MIGHT ENJOY THE CHALLENGE A BIT MORE HAVE A BASH . I'M SURE THEY'LL GET TWICE THE KICK OUT OF A CORRECT ANSWER! 
 In case anyone's wondering, the bird's OK, it was just being ringed.

Unknown said: Previously considered a subspecies or race, it was split a few years ago, and given full species status (unless the taxonomists have changed their minds again!). 
 You're too kind mickycoop 
 Well in that case I'd have to go for Lesser Redpoll (unless you are going to tell me differently). I've seen them on my feeders but none of them seemed to have white rumps. Is that maybe due to it being a first winter bird? 
 
 If it is a Lesser Redpoll give the prize to lynettemj. She was the first to suggest Redpoll. What was the prize again - a trip to Villa Park?
