![The goldcrest is the smallest European bird, 8.5–9.5 cm (3.3–3.7 in) in length with a 13.5–15.5 cm (5.3–6.1 in) wingspan and a weight of 4.5–7.0 g (0.16–0.25 oz). It is similar in appearance to a warbler, with olive-green upper-parts, buff-white underparts, two white wing bars, and a plain face with conspicuous black irises. The crown of the head has black sides and a narrow black front, and a bright crest, yellow with an orange centre in the male, and entirely yellow in the female the crest is erected in display, making the distinctive orange stripe of the male much more conspicuous.[5] The small, thin bill is black, and the legs are dark flesh-brown](https://mastodon.nl/system/media_attachments/files/114/001/844/182/666/671/original/17a66505115e46c1.jpg "The goldcrest is the smallest European bird, 8.5–9.5 cm (3.3–3.7 in) in length with a 13.5–15.5 cm (5.3–6.1 in) wingspan and a weight of 4.5–7.0 g (0.16–0.25 oz).
