Title: House Finch or Purple Finch?
Post by: Birdman on August 11, 2020, 02:03:36 PM

Both photos are the same bird, on my feeder in Ottawa.  It's definitely not red all over, but the cap appears red and the beak is pretty bulky, so that's why I'm wondering if it might be a purple finch.

Can anyone confirm?

Thanks!

House Finch - dark streaking easily visible.
