Bullfinch

This is a picture of the Bullfinch atWaring Green. When I looked at it closer there appears to be either a "growth" or an "accumulation" around the base of the legs. Anyone any ideas?

Many thanks Sean .I didnt spot it while we were watching the bird , only when I put the pics on the computer . It certainly didnt spoil its appetite .
