Is this a Redpoll or Linnet?

I have browsed through the similar posts but I still can't confidently say whether I captured a Linnet or Redpoll? Photo was taken in Cornwall, near Carbis Bay. Just off the dunes surrounded by goarse and heathland style plants. The bird was amongst a flock of goldfinches, you can just about see one in the background.

That's a male linnet. Beautiful.

Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
