What type of bird is this? ?

  • Found in Toronto,small bird.

  • This is not a finch.

    Mostly indicated by the birds beak.
    A finch would have a beak designed for hulling (aka cracking) seeds.
    THIS is a green finch:

    You can see the very different structure of the beak compared to your bird's - which is primarily designed for foraging for and catching insects.
    In fact, your bird is some type of Warbler.

    Looks like it could be an adult (nonbreeding) black throated blue warbler:

    Another option (looks slightly less like your bird) is the Pine Warbler.

    Either way, this is NOT a finch.


  • Looks like a finch


  • Pine Warbler.


  • I agree with nixity..some type of warbler, not a finch. It may be an immature or female which makes it a little difficult to ID. I too might guess it is a Pine Warbler, a female Black-throated Blue, or maybe even a female or immature Nashville or Mourning Warbler.


  • I would definetly say a green finch, here is a site about green finches so you can compare.

  • Im 99% certain that its a green finch.
    go to google images and type in greenfinch and compare the pictures.
    hope this helps


  • female Black-throated Blue Warbler
