I had what I think was a European goldfinch at the feeders by the
Wolcott statue this morning at Lake Park. It had a tan back, black and bright
yellow on the wings, black tail with some white, and bright red on
the face around a sharp finch bill. However, it did not have the black and white
head (rather the head was also tan or fawn-colored). Would this be a
juvenile or something else entirely?
