Looks like a warbler but eating at a feeder. I.D. would be appreciated.

Thank you. I was looking for more yellow colouration on a pine siskin.

Could it be a female house finch?

Bill and belly look less finchlike. Some shots looked like a juvenile yellow-rumped warbler
House finches

Pine siskin?

Yes, House Finches above and Pine Siskins below.

If you look very closely at the first photo (you may have to zoom on the image) you can also see a bit of the yellow streak on the wing found in siskins.

pine siskin = smallish bill, steaking on head, forked tail, yellowish wing bars, black on wings
house finches don't have any of these
yellow-rumped warblers would have an even narrower bill, longer tail with white undertail with black outer feathers, white throat, etc

Thank you all for the input. The following were at the feeder at about the same time as the finches and may have contributed to the confusion.
Yellow-rumped warbler (juvenile quite different)

Pine siskin

And keeping an eye on it all!
