I think this is a house finch...someone told me once how to tell the difference between them and the purple finch, but I don't remember who for sure. I think it might have been Mary. If I am wrong, feel free to correct me.
I think looking at it's bill and where it's red it's a house finch. The purple finch is more of a pink red overall color and has a different shaped bill. I think. :)
House finch...and a very pretty one. I have photos of both next to each other on my sidebar. The Purple finch doesn't have the dark belly stripes. I don't see the purple finches very often. My House finches have been coming around lately in the cold.
i'd guess house, but i've never seen purple except in photos. beautiful boy.
ReplyDeleteSame here. But we have a lot of house finches and this looks like one.
ReplyDeleteI guess house too. Nice capture!
