    Can someone please tell me "who" this is? I'm not very good at identification and I need help.
    Thanks

    Looks like a Dark-eyed Junco to me. The leaves in the foreground confused me a little at first. :)

    Indeed they are confusing Axel, because the green seems confined to the bird and doesn't bleed into the snow; very strange! But I agree a Dark-eyed Junco- note the dark grey head, upper breast, rusty streaked back, and there should be some white on the outer tail feathers.

    The bird was with a group of Junco, but it was the only green bird, the rest were a slate gray. Thanks for the ID, I've just never seen a green Junco

    Wait, this bird was actually green? It looks like the OOF foreground is making the bird appear green to me.

    Absolutely this bird is green, the other birds were gray. That's why I couldn't identify the bird.
