[cobirds] More on Finches

Birders,

After reviewing more photos of the finches I had this a.m., I'm not so sure of the Purple Finch ID.  I have a  photo of the female's beak and it looks pointed.  I never did see the streaking on the breast of the bird as it stayed in the tray.  I was basing my ID on the head pattern and nothing else as  I saw no other field marks.  

Comments welcome.
