Evening grosbeak female (Coccothraustes vespertinus)

That's a sharp looking bird. I love the coloring.

Nice.Would not know the Latin names of Birds ,looks very much like the larger Finches we have in the UK

great beak, :-)

Its not one we have here ,I can see by the beak its a finch , well captured ...

Thank you Bathgate.

The Latin names are sometimes tongue twisting and hard to remember. We do not have this pair in our yard too often. They appear only few times a year. They are much larger birds than our gold finches which we have plenty around.

You might be right Amy, I think that I read somewhere that sighting of them in UK is very rare.
