House Finch
Haemorhous mexicanus
ID Notes 4
The House Finch, Haemorhous mexicanus, is common in urban and suburban areas throughout Western New York. They are similar in size to a House Sparrow, but slightly more slender. They have heavy bills, and only a slight notch in the tail. Males are easily distinguished by their rosy-red coloration on the face and upper breast, and have a streaky brown belly, back, and tail. In flight, a red patch on the rump is conspicuous. Females and immatures birds are more drab, with a grayish-brown color overall and streaking on the belly.
