Carduelis tristis
Finch-like. Whitish overall, pale blaze of yellow extending from base of mandible through auriculars, to nape. Blackish tertials, and primaries all tipped with white edges.
Spotted by friend at backyard feeder. Thank you Liam for pointing out that this individual is an examble of Leucism.
A leucistic male American Golfinch. Leucism is similar to albinism, but it's a decrease of pigment in the bird's feathers, as opposed to the total lack of pigment in the bird itself.
