CLOSED: Purple or House Finch's

I can get a House Finch picture anytime from my feeder,but what I,m looking for is the Purple Finch. These 2 bird's were together when I took the pics.



Male

Female

They both look like House Finch to me Burd.

In my field guide they look almost the same, very slight variations...the bill on the female made me think Purple Finch's, here's a pic from the feeder (not great) the other pics are from the marsh.

Yep, House Finches - note the curved top edge of the bill, straighter on Purple Finch.

Burd, I think once you see a purple finch for real, you'll be able to identify readily. At least that's what it took for me. I kept looking and looking at house finches wondering "is that one?" but then when I saw one for real, it's easy now.

Thx Everyone! Mrs_Ed thanks for the pic, I see the difference now, more red (purple) all over the bird.

and that eyebrow is a clue too.
