I've seen this bird at the thistle feeders lately. My book on Florida Birds says flocks of the American Goldfinch can be seen throughout Florida from early November through April but this is the first I've ever seen this bird in the 42 years I've lived here. I'm not even sure it is a Goldfinch, but it's the closest I've come, comparing it to photo's in my bird book.

Thanks for any help in identifying!
