Juvenile House Finch

I saw this small bird up in a tree at Delta Ponds, and can't be sure of its identity. It has a short, broad bill, light and dark brown wings outlined beautifully in yellow. It has a white breast and light colored head. I couldn't find anything just like it in my bird books. Help! :) The back feathers, outlined in yellow were quite impressive. I have a nice shot of it from the back. See - http://www.pbase.com/image/164030765

Greg W's take is that it is a juvenile House Finch. Good enough for me!

Nice catch! V

It has that look of a young bird, which always makes it harder to identify IMO. I did look at both shots, and can't disagree with Greg W.'s best guess. Both are lovely shots.

It's a pretty little bird that you've captured quite well, but I have no idea what it is!

I think it is Phylloscopus collybita (dutch name : tjiftjaf; don't know the english name)
