It looks like a hen to me.All the red blaze should extend to in back of ryr.the white appears to be suffused with brown.

If this bird is a cock then why is his song so broken??? And he shows no interest in the hen but shows interest in the nest???
He fights with the hen through the wire. I have had to but a board between them and when together he chases her AWAY from the nest???
If this is a cock bird just not ready to breed then why is it showing interest in the nest? He sits in it???
Here is a link to a website on sexing goldfinches and it looks very similar to the hens in those pics. esp the red from the bottom of the eye to below the chin.

Compare my pics of the bird to the ones in these pics and you will see what i mean
