Looks like one to me! At my feeders, we usually see them in pairs... male and female. The female doesn't have the red-color.

Both your birds are purple finches. Notice how the red washes over the entire body, and how the streaking is very faint and diffuse on the sides of the male.

I do feel lucky to have them here. Of course, I thought they were house finches. The first day I saw the Purple Finches here this year was April 15 and they were on my tray feeder.
