    Hi Brendan. I think this is a male House Finch. They can vary from red to yellow with this guy being orange. Nice shot!

    I think Dan is right. I have a yellow one here.

    Another vote for House Finch. The orange variations are more common in the southwest than the rest of the country.

    I guess the two other candidates are Cassin's Finch and Purple Finch, but as well as the orange tones, the brown streaks on the side give it away as a House Finch.
