What type? I'm only familiar with American Goldfinch. Those are so pretty!
To a UK bird book, it's just a "Goldfinch" Carduelis Carduelis, I'm afraid. Wikipedia has it as "European Goldfinch" , but that I suspect is just to help confused folk across the big pond.
Male and female broadly look the same, so that's quite possibly a mated pair.
That's pretty neat that the sexes would look so similar. I don't see that often.
