Help with bird ID

Looking at my Sibley's guide it sure looks like a female House Finch because of the white on the end of the wing bars but the beak looks more like a Purple Finch but the eyebrow should have more white above it. It might be a juvenile and that is what is throwing us off.

Well, I think it's right. Those sparrows can be tricky to ID, particularly from this angle. When I was learning my sparrows, I found it hard to know which field marks were important and which were not. Sparrows remain my weakest category of species ID.
