Definitely a goldfinch with that metallic yellow wingbar.

Yeah that's what i thought, looks just like a goldfinch just no red face yet.

That crest is very characteristic of a goldcrest. I know of two sub species of gold crests, one has the yellow stripe the other a slightly orange stripe and body

This seems to me like the goldfinch, regulus regulus. Not the common firecrest , regulus ignicapilla.

My information sources is the Merlin Bird spotting app.

EDIT: the correct name is not goldfinch but goldcrest. As it is not in the finch family at all.

I probably should have said where i am located, it's in Düsseldorf, Germany. Regulus regulus should be around where i live too, according to my local bird book, but i have not seen one yet, i am quite certain it must be the child of Carduelis carduelis, European Goldfinch, the older ones are all over the feeder:
