Flock of birds (East Kent)

Question

Hello. First time doing this, so hopefully you can zoom in on this and see the patterns on the body and the wings. (If not I'll upload a link). 
 They were circling and then reassembling in a large field in the sunshine at 1pm a couple of weeks ago.

I agree with Linda that they are mainly Goldfinch and Chaffinch - there might also be Brambling in the mix. It's lovely to watch them wheel and settle to feed and just to take the time to observe behaviour

Hi William, looks like a flock of finches to me Goldfinch and Chaffinch...but wait for others as I ain't always right ;-)

Is no-one suggesting linnet? 
 It's just they look like linnet to me 
 and I can't see any goldfinch 
 and I've never seen a flock of chaffinch that large though perhaps they do things differently in Kent.
