I bought a seed sack full of nyger seed, to attract finches. A lot of these showed up, however I can't identify. Doesn't appear in my new "find a bird book". Spring is close, all the birds are real active...:D

Weird! Looks like top half female house finch (although the beak doesn't seem quite right) and bottom half swallow. :dunno

Your little one is a Pine Siskin. We had 100's at a time here all over our backyard feeders a few weeks ago. Still a few here, but the Goldfinches are taking over now.

Nice Image
