Mystery bird - better pictures

The bird feeder was crowded with my little mystery birds this morning, so with only a little patience I have managed to get some improved pictures -







Notice how much smaller they are than the Great Tit that they are "seeing off".

I have decided that they are probably young Siskins. Here is a drawing of a female Siskin from the RSPB website....


... I presume the speckled brown on "my" birds will go more yellow as they mature. Anyone care to comment?
