birdgurl 20 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) I think this is a House Finch but the chest and back had some red. Grants Pass or Any help appreciated Edited October 2, 2019 by birdgurl Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akandula 2,804 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) That's a male Purple Finch. House Finches lack any red on the back, don't have that much red on the face, and have a stronger curved culmen. Nice bird.

Lady Tiff 10 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Good pics for the ID, agree with akandula, male Purple Finch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie Spencer 3,137 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) I might add the streaking on the chest and sides would be stronger on a House Finch. Edited October 3, 2019 by Charlie Spencer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
