I am wondering if this is a female golden cheeked warbler, a house finch variation or perhaps a pine siskin?

This picture was taken at my backyard feeder at Spring Branch in the south central Texas hill country near Canyon Lake.

Your expert opinions and identifications are greatly appreciated.

This is a house finch. They are typically red, but there is a orange/tangerine variation...and I've even seen a yellowish one or two.

Hi Jerome-

Thank you. I thought as much based on the body type and the friends he was hanging around with but the orange threw me off.
