    Default Juvenile Pine Siskin?

    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 :).
