Brambling

The Brambling is similar in size and shape to a Chaffinch. Breeding-plumage male Bramblings are very distinctive, with a black head, dark upper-parts, orange breast and white belly. Females and younger birds are less distinct, and more similar in appearance to some Chaffinches. In all plumage's, however, Bramblings differs from Chaffinches in a number of features:

Brambling has a white rump whereas that of Chaffinch is grey-green; the breast is orange, contrasting with a white belly on Brambling, whereas on Chaffinch the underparts of more uniformly coloured (pink or buff);

Brambling's scapulars are orange, whereas Chaffinch's are grey or grey-brown;
the flanks are dark-spotted on Brambling, plain on Chaffinch;
Bramblings lack the white outer tail feathers of Chaffinch.
