We observed this one on Dec. 17, 2020 and was identified and further confirmed as an Abieticola. I think I see why you mention the malar and belly band. Much thanks

My wife took some pics on her camera of the same group of 40-50 Redpolls that I did. Merlin says the left one is a Hoary and the right one is a common. It appears these species are quite intermingled.

The 2 birds on the top pic were 40' to 50' high in the tree I was 70' to 80' away, pic was taken at 300mm. At first I thought they were Pine Grosbeaks The other 2 birds were 15' up and I was 20' away, pic was taken at 300mm. I have shown 2 pics (bottom pics) taken Nov 3rd of Hoary Redpolls and their whiteness is quite apparent. I have heard that there is a subspecies from Greenland that is of a larger size and were recorded in our county.

Claybank Park Renfrew Cty. On. We estimated 40-50 Common Redpolls Ctr pic. but noticed a big difference on the size of 3 redpolls? seen earlier

Braeside On. Early sighting were the usual Robins, Mallards, Canada's and Ringbills then. Grosbeak size.

I would have to have used one of those railway cars that carries spacecraft to the launchpad. Unintentionally making erroneous statements is my forte. lol

Renfrew Cty. Nov. 3 2020 The 2 pics on the left were taken 1km. from the other 2.

Taken Sept. 3, 2020 Renfrew Cty. On.

Likely this photo won't help much either.

Braeside On. Oct. 27 2020 Overcast day and a longshot.

Renfrew Cty. On. Oct. 6, 2020 Unfortunately pics were taken through the windshield.
