I was searching on the internet today looking for what this bird I have 
visiting my hanging sunflower feeder. I tried to get photos again today but 
I don't think there is anything that is usable. I found this link and IF 
this bird had a soft golden colour where the orangey/red bits are and if the 
place on the backside above the tail, between the folded wings was a grey 
with a light gold wash, and if the over all colouring was that of a female 
purple finch, with paler striping, then my guess this would be my bird. The 
bird on the left in the link below. What a shy little bird it is too.

 Oh and I think my hummingbird from the other evening, (found lying in 
driveway) is here and back to being his feisty self today!
