After looking at the birds with binoculars, I was able to get one photo of the bird in flight just before it flew behind a series of trees (you can see them as the smudge in the right side of the frame). This may be identifiable, or at least highly suggestive to someone familiar with finches. Note apparent small size by structure but also very chunky. Strongly notched tail. Head shape perhaps most distinctive with relatively flat face and slim bill, just visible in this image. Needless to say, we had much better views at first and when we first heard the bird calling. Luckily I was able to get this one image before the bird disappeared.

**Very Rare; per Eric Carpenter only 16 records for Texas, the last one in Feb 2016. Single bird completely alone; indeed this was the only finch we detected the entire time we were here (although there were many Pine Siskins elsewhere in nw. corner of TX, westernmost OK panhandle, and extreme ne New Mexico during our three days in the area). Jessie and I were scanning through and counting large flock of white geese when we heard calls coming from tree tops. As the milliseconds passed, Jessie quickly called out "Common Redpoll", a species with which we are both very familiar from the Lake Ontario lakeshore. The bird gave several calls from tree; and we spotted it just as it took flight into sun. Gave both a fairly clipped "che" call that was repeated 2 or 3 times the few times it called. Also gave two che calls followed by a rattling call. Overall quality perhaps recalling a bit of something in between White-winged Crossbill and Pine Siskin. Overall appeared much paler than Pine Siskin and chunkier, with streaking limited to flanks. Forecrown appeared dark reddish/back; pale yellowish bill. In flight noticeably stockier, shorter-necked and flatter-faced than Pine Siskin. Rump contrasting white (with some streaking) unlike siskin. See image for additional comments. There has been a bit of an irruption of Common Redpolls in the West this year. Jessie and I found one days earlier in Jefferson county, Colorado, where I grew up and had never seen one previously (also first detected by call).
