Hi Liam there looks to be quite a bit of yellow coloring in the front and tail for a sparrow and the legs and feet also look very pink, also the pale beak. Are there any other thought from anyone else on this please. Thank you.

I agree with Sparrow. The eyebrow and the darker markings visible on the wings in pic 2 point towards Sparrow.

okay thank you, just wondered as a couple of people on ABID identified it as a Greenfinch, but will go with your decision. Thanks for your time.
