The Purple Finch (Haemorhous purpureus) is a strikingly vibrant bird known for its raspberry-red plumage in males and distinctive brown and white markings in females. This migratory species thrives in coniferous and mixed forests but faces challenges from competition with house finches and sparrows.

Males exhibit a striking raspberry-red head and a pink body, complemented by brown tail feathers and wings. Females are predominantly brown, featuring a distinctive white stripe above the eye, and a white belly adorned with brown stripes.
