Default Reed Bunting?
I'm undecided if this is a Reed Bunting, Linnet or Twite, help please, I'm leaning towards a Reed Bunting, it was among a small flock of Chaffinch which made me initially think it may be a Twite.

Hopefully its either a Reed Bunting or a Twite as either would be a first for me.

Looks like a female from what can be seen - though it is difficult to conclusively rule out the possibility of a first winter male.

If it was, and birds were always easy to find, it would be a far less interesting hobby!
