birdgurl Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Grants Pass Or Is this a house finch or Female Purple Finch? The streaking on the breast makes me think it's one of the finches and not sparrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bird Nuts Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I think this is a young bird, so we can't yet tell whether it's a female or male. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, the facial pattern isn't strong enough for Purple, and the streaking on the breast and sides is blurry like a Housie. I'm not sure how reliable a mark it is, but the few Purples I've seen have a purplish hue to the legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Leukering Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I agree that it is a House Finch. I also agree that it looks like a juvenile, thus sex is indeterminable at this remove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
