Looks like this finch was blind with a pox virus or mites! :(

It looks healthy otherwise. i hope that it is able to combat it!
I will venture to say this is a house finch with conjunctivitis. It is unfortunately a rather common disease in finches who frequent poorly-maintained bird feeders. Highly contagious. Poor thing!
