At first, I thought that this was a female house finch, but upon a closer look, the markings don't line up. I googled the image, to which, Google Image Search told me it was a bird. (Thanks, Google.) What was helpful was a little button that said, "Finch," which I was pretty sure that it was, and the next batch of images yielded something close to the bird above. When I clicked on the image, I had to lol the explanation that said a purple finch is not actually purple, but that the name had something to do with its Latin counterpart, purpureus, which apparently has something to do with the color red. (Which, the male of this bird is quite red.) Thanks for stopping by!
