Sorry texbirds,
I tried linking to a photo of what Peter Barnes helped me ID as a Lesser
Goldfinch but technology...

Try this link instead:

Just scroll down to Lesser Goldfinch.  I, and multiple respondents
overlooked the bird in question:-)  Its hiding in plain sight to the left
of the orange variant House Finch.

It wasn't until February of this year that I realized just how small Lesser
Goldfinches are.  Here is a good illustration of that:

Again, scroll to bottom to see the Goldfinches.  Boy that American sure
looks cross!
