Took us a while to figure our what this bird was - it kept showing up at our feeder with a couple Goldfinches. Found out that female Purple Finches sometimes travel with Goldfinches. The breast streaks of female Purple Finches do not converge in a central spot as on many sparrows. We've haven't spotted a male Purple Finch yet.
