Hi Tweeters,

Just had a bird (7pm) at feeder/birdbath I initially thought was a GF but the feather patterns/coloration didn't fit any photos I could find. Plus the bill color was black and not finchlike (female?). More narrow.

There was some gold chin color but alternating black and almost a pale rosy wingbar with white on the tail and in the tertials and secondaries. Couldn't get a photo but it was feeding heavily. Probably a finch changing out of breeding plumage?

Anything else this could be?

Thanks.
