Hi Radwoman,

That's one very interesting bird.  I was trying to make it an immature Blue Grosbeak but it just doesn't seem quite right.  Do you know where and when it was taken?

This is a Chaffinch, a common bird of Europe. http://www.westmidlandbirdclub.com/images/gallery/BroomeN/Chaffinch20040302b.jpg

Wow Featherbrain you are good!!  I knew it just wasn't matching anything I know about. And you did it without knowing location.  Have you seen one before? (Or is it something we all should have heard about?)

Kinda looks like a cross between a house finch, bluebird, and a painted bunting!
