Please excuse 'feeder pose' and poor background. These little guys are a bit elusive, especially since the Pine Grosbeaks continually battle with them and chase them away.

Photo is from earlier today, north-west Wyoming. Doesn't show up so well in this image, but those wing markings are bright yellow. Closest I can find, in my Field Guide, is Brewer's Sparrow - but not an exact match. For scale, the feeder opening is about 2 inches wide, and 1-1/2 inches high, overall.

Thanks for any help.

Flo, I do believe you are correct - missed that one in the Field Guide.

Thanks!

It's a Pine Siskin...Spinus pinus. It's in the same genus as the Goldfinches.
