Résumé :	For taxonomists and birdwatchers alike, redpolls have long posed complex problems. This paper reviews our progress in solving those problems. It summarises the history and nature of the taxonomic debates and, for each form, describes its currently understood identification criteria and British status, both historical and present-day. A particular effort is made to disentangle some of the complexities surrounding Iceland's redpolls, notably its intriguing pale birds. Finally, some currently unresolved questions are posed.
