Description
|
The delicate Goldfinch has beauty and charm in abundance. This small finch is strikingly colourful with its mixture of red, white and black on the head, golden brown body and bright yellow wing bars. Looking more closely, the lores and crown are black, the chin and forehead are red and the cheeks are white. The body is predominantly golden or tawny brown, but the belly and rump are white. The wings are mostly black with a large striking yellow band. The bill varies from pinkish to pale grey, and the legs are flash coloured. |
