On July 25, 2022 we spent a day in the Tagus Estuary of Portugal with Bernardo Barreto, a bird guide. A bird pointed out to me by Bernardo, which I was not able to get a photo of, was the European greenfinch. I recall the setting, but I don't remember where along the estuary we saw it.

I haven't heard of greenfinch, but I wonder how closely related it is to a goldfinch. Is it just a goldfinch in a different range so it developed a different color?
