finical
Excessively picky person
Finical means excessively particular or fussy about small details, especially in matters of taste or appearance.
The word suggests someone who is overly dainty or fastidious to the point of affectation: a finical eater who won't let foods touch on the plate.
Finical is rare and old-fashioned; finicky has largely replaced it.
