Jim,
My feeling after seeing the photo would be Cassins finch due to the lighter
striping in the upper breast and marking on undertail coverts. Where as
PUFI would be more densely striped into blotching on the upper chest.
Would be good to send this to Eric carpenter and anthony for options.

Hopefully the Anna’s holds for the CBC. Let me know if the PUFI keeps
coming to your place. Would like to see it for the year.
Do you have pictures of under tail coverts?

Hi All,--
I sat in the backyard this evening and was able to see 22 species of
birds. The most intriguing one was what I think was a female Purple
Finch. I originally thought it was Cassin’s Finch because of the western
influx of birds we have seen recently. The finch had distinct white facial
markings and strong streaks on the sides of the breast. I posted pictures
on eBird, sorry, for some reasons my pictures will not post to this
listserver.
Also, I still have the Anna’s Hummingbird.
