I'm not an expert, but that may be a female Linnet.

Yeah. I get it. Sh*t picture.

Not at all, there have been some oddly poor images asking for ID on forums for ages.

LBJ has become common'ish parlance for unidentified small brown birds.........though none too helpful where bird ID is concerned

Exactly that. Nothing to do with the quality of the photo!

The term LBJ has been about since my days in the YOC almost forty years ago.

Can only imagine what sort of response I’d have got in the Bird Forum. Still smouldering from my visit there 10 years ago.
