MWM Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Today at Montezuma NWR NY, thought House Finches at first, not sure after looking at the bill (heavily backlight, very grainy/dark pics). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) House. The colored areas are too red and not raspberry enough for Purple. A Purple would show color on the shoulders and wingbars. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Purple_Finch/species-compare Edited January 14 by Charlie Spencer 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PalmWarbler Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 House. Purple Finches would have more raspberry-colored red than orangey red (like this bird is). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWM Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 I agree with Just a House 🙂 at least I don't have to change it in Ebird (but already had house for the year, still gotta find a purple. 🙂 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
