I don't know how your goldfinches look like but the Latin name for our ones are Carduelis carduelis.

This is one of ours. Apparently yours is a European Goldfinch and mine is an American Goldfinch. This was taken last spring. This time of year their feathers turn a very dull green and it is hard to tell them apart from the female. ( Spinus tristis )

That's also a beauty, and you are right that mine is an European Goldfinch.

I think your first image is a Grünfink in German and a Greenfinch in English. The second is a Stiglitz in German and I am pretty much sure a European Goldfinch in English
