Took this photo today of a bird with Bramblings, Linnets and Goldfinches on stape Moor. Thought at first a Brambling but facial marking seemed different. Confirmation would be appreciated.

Yep! Brambling. A male by the look of it. The plumage varies considerably as they moult from winter to breeding plumage.

Thanks Ian, I just was not sure by the lack of a full black hood. Regards
