These birds have been coming to my backyard feeder here in coastal South Carolina. I recognize the finch beaks but these two are obviously changing their colors.
What kind are they? Purple Finches? Are they juvies becoming adults? Thanks.
Check out my BirdsEyeViews blog and my bird photography book. Thanks fellow birders!

I don't see a photo, but given your location, the only finches you have in your area during this time of year are House Finches. It could be you have young individuals gaining their color.

Nevermind, I see in your other post that they are young male Brown-headed Cowbirds. :P
