I would say that No. 3 is a female siskin although the colour does look a little "de-saturated".

Thank you its basically straight out of camera just cropped sun directly behind the bird

Regarding no 3, it is certianly a small female finch but it does look very plain in colour. I would go with linnet - my feeling is that you have a male linnet already and linnet and siskin don't generally share the same habitat.

Thanks for that info Jeremy- these were taken along the same hedgerow

I would agree, male then female Linnet

Siskins are not really "hedgerow" birds - more often found in forestry.......
