Can you ID this escapee?  Flo Rutherford from Bergenfield writes:

"Here's the little interloper who's been making himself at home. He seems to be hanging out around the house finches, but not really acting as part of their gang.

"I can't help but wonder how an Amazonian bird will do in the winter, but he's been through some cold nights and seems fine. He's awfully conspicuous, though, for the periodic Coop swoop. It'll be interesting to see how he fares.

"Maybe somebody will recognize their escapee."

    Maybe enough got loose last year and they have started to get a foothold on establishing themselves in the area?

    I agree with Doug. These guys are seeming to pop up more and more. We had at least two rounds – or was it three? – at DeKorte in the past year and a half.

    I think it’s a Saffron Finch. Had an escapee at my place of employment for a few days several years ago.
