| nothing to usefully add except that the second shot is specifically of a male chaffinch, the female has much more drab colours. |

Just some general suggestions for anyone posting critters for ID;
Geographic location
Habitat ( evergreen forest, marsh, open grassland, etc.)
Rough size
What it's doing
Any details you noticed that the shot doesn't show, such as eye colour, patches visible when it fles, song, etc.
Of those, location (as in real estate) is everything :)
