I saw these two little birds on my feeder yesterday. They were very small and bronze on color. Does anyone know what they are. Sorry for the picture quality, I was shooting through a window.

I would hazard a guess at Bengalese Finches, but then again, I'm probably wide of the mark :)

Can't help with the ID, but it sure is an interesting looking bird. Not one that I've ever seen before either.

Thanks Duane, that looks like what it is. You never know what is going to show up at your feeder. I wanted to report the birds to e-bird, but they look like they do not track that species.
