Cassin's Finch - west Centennial Arapahoe County

[kevyg...@aol.com]

Hello Fellow Birders,

 

   A new species has been visiting my little townhouse yard near Holly St & Arapahoe Rd in west Centennial the past two days.  I believe it is a Cassin's Finch, but if anyone has a better idea I'm open to all suggestions.  Pix attached.

Keep Smilin',

The only other species it could be is a Purple Finch. See if you can get a good view (and photos) of the undertail coverts. If they are white with brown streaking, it's Cassin's. If it's just white with no streaks, it's a Purple Finch.

Kevin, this is an adult male Cassin's Finch. A purple finch would have more red on throat and chest and on the back as well.
