I have identified every bird that has visited the bird feeders, even down to the males and females with most of them, but this one particular bird has baffled me. I have 2 bird books and he is nowhere near in them, and I looked at every page one by one, even the ducks and puffins and birds of prey LOL. I have looked online, even did a step by step type identifying thing for figuring him out.
Now my first thought was a house finch, but he's too dark for that. The male house finch is lighter and has stripes, he is a dark chocolate brown with no stripes and has the white spot on either side on his wing, and then deep red on his head and right under the edge of his beak. Im sure he's some simple type bird Im just missing, but if anybody has any thoughts, please please let me know because he still comes around and I would really like to know what he is.
