Purple Finch

I believe this bird is a purple finch, although I'm open to being corrected.

The purple finch is easy to confuse with normal sparrows, as its reddish color can be fairly muted. Despite its name, I think its color is a bit more in the red range.

Sort of like how the Redbud tree is actually more purplish, but in reverse...

And that's about all I know for now.
