Showing brow streak and hint of malar streak ... (Haemorhous purpureus)

This was the first sign I noted that this was a bird I wasn't familiar with (such as House Finch). So I checked the images on Merlin and found that only one North Am finch with triangular bill has these facial features, though most of the shots showed a stronger malar streak than on this individual.
