Not 100% sure, but I think it might be an Evening Grosbeak. Photo taken in Oregon.

    Beautiful shot! I think it might be a lesser goldfinch, not a grosbeak. And on a thistle, the finches’ favorite food, too!

      Thats pretty cool. It does look similar to the one in that link, albeit less plump.

        Yeah, I think the birds are in their summer molt because I’ve noticed they’re all looking haggard and scruffy! Nothing like their beautiful, vibrant plumage of the spring.
