Purple Finch

Carpodacus purpureus -- Common in open woodlands and suburbs, often at feeding stations. The wine-colored male is more uniformly colored than other red-finches. The heavily streaked female and immature resemble a sparrow except for the heavier beak, deeper tail notch, and undulating flight. Female is told from female House Finch by the broad white line back of the eye and larger beak. The sharp musical chip of the Purple, often given in flight, is distinctive. Song is a long, loud, rich warbling, 4-8 minutes.
