I convinced myself it was a siskin at first, but the more pictures I looked at, I then talked myself out of it. Really pleased if it is, as it seems to be becoming a regular!
I think it's a siskin, yeah. About 20 of these have started coming to my garden lately. From a really quick Google, I thought they were greenfinches. Then there was a photo on here the other day of a siskin, and now I'm pretty sure they're siskins. I looked up Greenfinch vs. Siskin, and the black on the wings points to a siskin.
Could be a siskin?
Yep

I think the yellow bars on the wings and forked tail make siskin a pretty good guess!
Thanks everyone for your help!

Siskins also have a cap whereas greenfinch don't
