Learn how to distinguish a house finch from a purple finch. The best ID is the brownish streaks on the flanks of the House Finch and the purple smudges on the flanks of the Purple Finch ( no real streaks ). The Purple Finch has its purple-ish coloring on its wings/back/and rump.... Don't forget the crowns. The Purple Finch crown is ruffled; that on the House Finch has a slicked down appearance. Thanks very much Matt & Allen.
