It looks like a female Purple finch (notable bright eyebrow and heavy streaking on flank). I'm often amazed by how diminutive a female RBGB seems in the field, when I'm expecting a larger bird, and therefore one might easily confuse it with a female House/Purple finch, but then again, I'm continually amazed by a light switch and am confused by shoelaces. The rich earth tones and detailed contrast of the grosbeak are delightful and when a bird is wet, well, all the more so. Maybe you will also get to see a male Purple finch in the next few days. You do realize, I hope, that when you ask for an opinion, I might be tempted to go on-and-on and spin off on an irrelevant tangent, as I'm so inclined to do. There is risk lurking everywhere.
