Thanks, I received suggestions in two other forums that is likely a European goldfinch cross probably an escaped pet. Ron Lacey, Skwerl Wrangler and Deer Whisperer

Mar 24, 2010 09:34 | #14 I think more important question would be how in North America. I don't think there are any European goldfinches here in the wild. Unless it escaped from a cage, it would be nice to know that we could have some of these pretty birds in the States. It would probably adapt well in the northern part of the country with cold winters and mild summers. Sony A7r
