Greenfinch / carduelis chloris
Looks like a very crocky teenager.

Yes Stefan, looks like an immature bird with the heavily streaked breast. When was the image made? It seems early to have juveniles out already in Sweden! Year 2 birds (fledged in 2008) should have lost the streaks by now in a complete body moult.
PS you have a small sensor dust spot to the left of the bird.
