I tend to rely on Hayman and Burton's <i>Birds of Britain and Europe</i>, Delin and Svensson's <i>Photographic Guide to the Birds of Brirain and Europe</i> when the various Collins Guides are not sufficient. It clearly looks like a Redpoll given the small black patch under the beak and the overall standard colour of the tail and wings. (The Linnet appears not to have the black patch at any stage in any pictures I can find and has a darker tail and slightly redder/brown wing). However no pictures of Redpolls that I can find have a black upper and yellow lower to the beak whereas some of the Linnet pictures do display that. I wonder if any of the more experienced commenters have an explanation for that (apart from the possibility that the books I'm relying on possibly having incorrect identifications).
