Goldfinch?

I'm really not positive what this is - the tail isn't barred. Or could it be a juvenile? It was taken at a flooded woodland area in Connecticut. I'm trying Merlin but I'm not getting it.

We dont have that species over here but it does closely resemble 'Lesser goldfinch' when determining.

I read up on them, and our Connecticut site said they start moving out of here early, in July. So, I guess I was lucky to find her.

That's one I had weighed, but I get confused with birds. Reptiles and herps I'm good at, these, not yet.

Fortunately, the birds don't have internet access and don't read the bird guides.

You are definitely getting there!
