Late evening lighting has given a yellowish cast, but I think this is most likely ID a juvenile Pine Siskin. The
other possibility, at least in my limited experience, is a goldfinch, but the streaked underparts suggest
otherwise. Am I on the right track?

This is a Pine Siskin, but IMO an adult one. The amount of yellow that is seemingly apparent on the wing would suggest a male (the female's such markings being much paler, almost white).

I agree with Daniel, it doesn't look like a juvenile siskin to me, either.

Thanks very much Daniel and Axel - I appreciate the help on the ID. At least I got the bird right :).
