They have striped bellies like Pine Siskens but are free of stripes along the center of their bellies. Both males and females have a reddish mark on their top of the head, giving them the redpoll name. The males have a rosy cast to their upper body, almost like house finch but a bit paler. For me, tend to be unfrequent visitor to the feeder in winter time maybe once every 4 to 6 years but don't know for sure, mixed with goldfinches and close species. |
