    That crest is very characteristic of a goldcrest. I know of two sub species of gold crests, one has the yellow stripe the other a slightly orange stripe and body

    This seems to me like the goldfinch, regulus regulus. Not the common firecrest , regulus ignicapilla.

    My information sources is the Merlin Bird spotting app.

    EDIT: the correct name is not goldfinch but goldcrest. As it is not in the finch family at all.
