Male Purple finch.jpg (Carpodacus purpureus)

I don't know who named this bird however I think he should be named, "Strawberry Finch,". I posted this bird before but I think this picture is better than the first one I did this year. (have you done that?)

Superb capture of this stunning bird Daniel, you’re right about the name mate. Strawberry Finch would be better. Tfs.
