House Finch or Purple Finch? (1 Viewer)

I'm new here and would like some information. I am feeding the birds outside my window and have been seeing what looks like a bunch of house finches. Then later, I saw another one that was larger and redder. Can someone tell me the difference between a purple and house finch. If you have a picture of each, I would love to see if I have both or a totally different bird. Thanks!!! ||

Hi again. The first link will take you to a Purple Finch (male)

The second to a House Finch (male)

Notice the heavy streaking on the underbelly of the male House Finch

Thank you so much for showing me the difference - guess it's definitely house finches that are visiting me, and they are soooooooo cute!!!
