Not my pic--Purple Finch vs. House Finch
Melierax replied to floraphile's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Take a look at facial pattern. That's the biggest thing for me. Purple Finches have darker auriculars and malar stripes than House Finches. -
House finch with long bill
Melierax replied to Shakespeare_fan's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Dang. That's a bill deformity, poor bird. The yellow coloration indicates it's not getting enough nutrition as well. -
Oh! Yellow-rumped Warbler?

Welcome to Whatbird! Just from the black and white tail I'd be inclined to suggest Eastern Towhee, but that doesn't exactly match with everything else. Did you notice any other features like beak shape, leg color, etc?

Sounds fine for Song Sparrow.

January 2021 Confirmations/Uncertainties
Melierax replied to floraphile's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Do you happen to have photos of a DCCO sitting on the same branch? IMO the tail is long enough to be Neotropic, but I couldn't be certain. -
Why was Cassiar Junco ruled out? Features of oregon and slate-colored are here - fairly well defined hood, gray sides though, and a brown back.

Worm-eating Warbler? -
Identify this Hawk please😀
Melierax replied to Birdfan56's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Thanks! Just curious - I've recently been interested in RTHA x RLHA hybrids. Since this bird does have a substantial dark tail tip, is this a possibility? I also think the beak looks a bit small for Red-tailed, the angle is tough though. -

Melierax replied to Birdfan56's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
You should wait for more opinions. I'm not confident this isn't a Rough-legged Hawk. -
Identify this Hawk please😀
Melierax replied to Birdfan56's topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Looks pretty good for a Harlan's Red-tailed Hawk (possibly light morph?). Lack of a white base to the tail rules out Rough-legged Hawk. EDIT: Just checked eBird reports, Harlan's would be quite rare. I'm not sure what else this could be. -
