Drewesque Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Taken in Denver, CO this morning. Not from this region but Common Redpoll is the only thing I can come up with in my quick research. Shows it would be rare in the area for this time of year. Please excuse the poor photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House Finches have a rather wide range of colors, from yellow to almost Purple! For future reference, Redpolls will be a bit smaller, more like a goldfinch or Siskin rolled into a ball 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirVive Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 It depends on the main sources of their local diet. Pretty interesting how varied the colors can be just from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
