Observation details
Photographed. Appeared while playing screech owl call at a brush pile trying to draw out sparrows, noticed the female in nearby treefirst with distinctive contrasting facial features with bold white eyebrow stripe, then the bright male appeared nearby. Suspecting purple finch, I then played a purple finch call, both responded positively, male persisted toward the source of the call. Closer inspection revealed clear reddish coloration down the back, darker cheek patch with entire face in radiant light reddish hue, only faint sign of streaking on flanks compared to distinct steaks typical of hose finch.
