When I arrived home from school today, I saw a bird feeding singly at my =
feeder. Then he flew to the edge of my roof, where he began to eat some =
snow. He had a brilliant-ish colored heat, but it only extended down to =
the breast. I know some purple finches are like this, but I did see =
stipes, unlike purple finches. His head had darker spots, like a purple =
finch. He also didn't "flock with a feather" when a flock of house =
finches came by. He flew away, and then, when they left, he returned to =
his sun-flower eating. And also, unlike House finches, it more so =
"hovered" to my bird feeder, rather than just flying. Help me indentify =
him!! Thanks~
