Haemorhous purpureus
Male Purple Finches are delicate pink-red on the head and breast, mixing with brown on the back and cloudy white on the belly. Female Purple Finches have no red. They are coarsely streaked below, with strong facial markings including a whitish eyestripe and a dark line down the side of the throat.
Backyard - hardwoods within a quartzite "hill".
These are new to the feeder this year. There is a male and female in the picture along with the goldfinch sitting there.
