JackieL Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Going through some old photos, these were taken back in April 2019 at Robert Moses SP on Long Island NY. I'm thinking its a House Finch but since a Purple Finch would be a lifer for me I just want to be sure. Thanks in advance for any and all help!

The Bird Nuts Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) It's a House Finch. Purple Finches are more of a reddish-pink color and they have reddish wingbars. Edited January 16, 2020 by The Bird Nuts 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Leukering Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Both Cassin's and Purple finch adult males have the flank streaking within the reddish color below; House Finch does not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
