Observation details
At feeder. Compared to house finch had heavier streaking on breast and belly. Somewhat spiky / poofy crown. Most distinctive feature vs HOFI was the dark cheek patch along with pale creamy moustache and eyebrow. Bill a little bit more pointed than HOFI. Seen well by both of us, also with direct comparisons to HOFIs co-occupying the feeder. We originally identified as a purple finch, but were corrected by Peter Gent as this being Cassin's due to large bill and white stripe over the bill (thank you Peter!). PUFIs are now reported by others in the neighborhood. I'll try to get more photos with a real camera if it comes back. Phone photos attached.
