Can you please tell me what is the dirty-green, finch-type bird with a
narrow yellow stripe on its wing and a beak like a Roman nose? We have
them in our garden and the sparrows are extremely rude to them. TIA

Greenfinch.
The females are similar but less green. In my garden they seem to hang
out with the sparrows.

Thanks Kay. The sparrows certainly boss them around here!
