I've recently started seeing this bird around the feeders. Finally caught a picture of it, although I know it's not that great. Is this a Pine Siskin or just a finch? For some reason, I think it looks a little different than my other Golds.

Also... can anyone suggest a good bird identification book? Right now, I only have my Reader's Digest North American Wildlife book. It was good at first, but now I'm finding it rather limiting. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!
