RustyE Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Bmurphy, location and date are always helpful for ID's, but in this finch I can see a great deal of red in the breast where a House Finch would have more brownish streaks. Around the eye you would see a lot more brown and there would be more brown on the back side of the head. Purple finch is my call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Is there an echo in here? Also, notice how the reddish color extends down the shoulders; on a House, it would be limited to the upper back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aveschapinas Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I've merged the two threads, since they deal with the same species and location. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
