Female Linnet ?

I'm not a birder but I took this while out testing my 70-300 at the coast. A woman with binoculars close by told me it was a female Linnet, but when looking it up at home the beak looked wrong, was she correct ?

Meadow Pipit.. Certainly not a Linnet, which has a pink breast...

Nice photo...

Thanks, it's a decent crop though as I wasn't that close.
