Taken 2 Feb 24 in Amityville NY he's a House Finch (Haemorhous mexicanus). We struggled with whether this might be a Purple Finch (both found there year round) but settled on House. Anyone who differs please feel free, would love to hear. Sucky weather here today so looking at old images. #birds

House is right. It is more orange. If it does look like it might be more wine-colored, look for pinkish wing bars. I'm convinced that's the fastest way to identification.

Looks like a house finch to me! We get them here occasionally. I'm a finch fan.
