A very colorful Finch showed up today and appears to me to be a Purple Finch. Maybe it will sing and Merlin will help. In past years, what I thought was a Purple Finch turned out to be a House Finch. Anyway, the mandible of this one is straight, the red color goes down the back of the head and covers more of the underside than most House Finches. It also looks a little too stout for a House Finch.
