Subspecies: coelebs
Probably juvenile based on the very pale and fluffy look. Very similar to female, though.

Roosting during migration.

A winter male with the reddish head, buffy-pink body and greenish cast to the edges of the remiges.

Enjoying the enormous amounts of food available this year, especially seeds of the beech, which is a favorite with this species.

Very common in Denmark.

First calendar year. At first it made a nervous and hasty visit, but later on it learned that this was a welcoming place where to have food and shelter. Also present the next day.

Maybe it is weak, having what looks like a fungus disease on the legs.

The first on the balcony.

(Has been present every day since, in moment of writing 2021-12-08)

♀. Not sure if it is the same as earlier this winter, but the feet look different, why I guess it's a new one.

Adult. ♂. Likely the same bird as 5405 spending the winter here in the neighborhood. Mostly because we don't see many chaffinches in winter around here, but also because both birds have what looks like a fungus decease on the left foot.
It is one of the more precautious species/birds coming to the feeder, only hesitantly jumping down on the floor to pick up the spillover from the messy Tree Sparrows, and certainly only when the barrel shaped vacuum-cleaners, also known as Common Wood-pigeons, are not near.
