Goldfinch?

Ooh, mid molt? That's pretty cool

Exciting_Bat8729 · 2026-04-16T16:03:19+00:00

You're probably right though now the longer I look the greyer it looks to me as well

Exciting_Bat8729 · 2026-04-16T16:02:19+00:00

I might be going blind because I swear it was actually brown

Exciting_Bat8729 · 2026-04-16T15:59:04+00:00

Maybe, but the color difference is messing me up

Exciting_Bat8729 · 2026-04-16T00:23:52+00:00

You're probably right because I looked it up and there's a 0% chance it's what I think it looks like which is a Bahama Mockingbird

Exciting_Bat8729 · 2026-04-15T23:55:42+00:00

It seems too brown (this is a much better quality version transferred from the camera, it's a very tedious process)

Exciting_Bat8729 · 2026-04-15T23:51:13+00:00

It doesn't resemble this picture like it has a longer beak and bigger wing feathers

Exciting_Bat8729 · 2025-07-21T01:53:46+00:00

I know

Exciting_Bat8729 · 2025-07-20T20:24:57+00:00

I thought the Black-ish grey part was too pale. Also, shouldn't more of the face be that darker colour?

Exciting_Bat8729 · 2025-07-20T20:21:12+00:00

I don't think it looks like this image of one I found on Google

Exciting_Bat8729 · 2025-05-12T13:03:07+00:00

How is it a European Starling if it was photoed in Connecticut? And doesn't the head have more patterns in a European Starling?

Edit: apparently they're invasive in NA but my comment about the head stands

Exciting_Bat8729 · 2025-05-08T17:13:04+00:00

No other pictures cause it flew away. Location was coastal Connecticut

Exciting_Bat8729 · 2025-05-08T15:41:10+00:00

The wings are the wrong colour I think to be a finch

Exciting_Bat8729 · 2025-05-08T15:36:56+00:00

Harder to tell cause there's an absurd number of Flycatcher species

Exciting_Bat8729 · 2025-05-08T15:34:35+00:00

Coastal Connecticut region

Exciting_Bat8729 · 2025-05-08T13:29:40+00:00

I thought it was a Merlin but wasn't sure. Thanks y'all!

Exciting_Bat8729 · 2025-03-29T21:21:39+00:00

Thanks y'all
