The Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs), also called a spink, scobby, shellapple, wetbird, or roberd among other names (see below), is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae. Its large double white wing bars, white tail edges and greenish rump easily identify this 14–16 cm long species. The breeding male is unmistakable, with his reddish underparts and a blue-grey cap. The female is drabber and greener, but still obvious.
