Identification : Bird whose silhouette evokes that of the Sparrow, but much smaller than the latter. The body is round, the bill short and conical, the plumage largely tinged with yellow-green in the male, the female being duller. The male sings a lot, both sitting on a branch and flying like a butterfly.
