Carpodacus mexicanus
Males have a brown cap that contrasts with the red forehead and thick, blurry eyebrow. Throat, upper chest and rump are strongly red, while the back is gray brown with darker streaks.
House finches are very adaptable and can be found in a wide range of habitats, from arid deserts to open woodlands and shrubby fields. They are common in both urban and suburban areas as well
