Female Purple Finch

Recommended Posts

Gulp, deep breath . . . OK . . . here goes. . .

These are both house finches. Not purple finches. Eastern purple finch females have very distinct contrast to the streaking on their faces, while house finch females are much more monotonous. This has been both my experience and what Sibley shows.

These clearly are house finches to my eye.

OK boys, let me have it! grin.gif

You are absolutely correct. I don't know why I wrote Purple finch. Brain Fart I guess. They are indeed house finches.

I am not below being wrong guys, and if I am, I'll be the first to admit it.

I have been doing photography for 10 years, but I am relatively new to birding. There won't be many times I'll debate something with you over bird ID, however you must admit that the last one was tricky...
