Spotted in Portland.
At first I thought a Twite, then a Linnet but now I'm just confused.
Can anyone identify it and also identify if its Male or Female please?
Thank you!
It's a hard enough species pair normally, but this one looks to be mid-moult too. Also it's in shadow, so subtle colour differences are hard to ascertain. For me a female linnet. I couldn't age it, though. Based on greyness of head, size of bill, perceived leg colour and a quick glance at Cornell eBird, which tells me the last twite reported in Poland was February while the last linnet was yesterday.

I think this bird was in Portland (presumably Dorset rather than Oregon or Maine), not Poland.
