purple finches
Raspberry-colored seed eaters
Purple finches are North American songbirds, the males showing raspberry-red coloring on the head and breast rather than true purple.
They're often confused with house finches, which have more orange-red coloring and streakier flanks.
Purple finches have been visiting our feeder all winter.
