One advantage of being storm-stayed - a few minutes a big and very pale Hoary Redpoll 
appeared among the 20 or so Commons at our feeder. It had a few very pale and diffuse 
flank streaks, but overall was frosty gray above, snow white below, very small billed, and 
significantly larger than the Commons - about as good a candidate as I've seen recently for 
Acanthis hornemanni hornemanni, not A. h. exilipes.
