Brambling





He looks like a finch..and at first I saw nothing special
but this one...isn't just a finch..though his family is,
he is a Brambling, (Keep) (Fringilla montifringilla).
I rarely see him on the feedingtable,
as I searched for more info, he is a visitor, staying over here in wintertime, sometimes stays..

I could approach him very close, without flying away,
posing from all sides.
Lovely bird, orange breast, head greyish-brown...so that means, 'he'... is a she.
the male has more black on his head.

So cute with one loose feather
