Good find 'crappy image' or not always good to see something new, unusual or rare, a bonus if you can get any kind of picture of it....least of all you have seen, enjoyed and hope you'll find another one

Thank you all and now it looks like it is the Western Specie of that bird which they call White Winged Crossbill in USA

as the bill is very fine and a solid black scapulars and the Character of the head all Strongly indicate that this bird is the North American White Winged Crossbill
