Hi folks: The light coloured bird on the front of the feeder came with the pine siskins. Is it also one?
I have added a second picture.

Cool bird! Can't see the bill perfectly, but it does look like a Pine Siskin otherwise - just a partially leucistic one. It looks like it's producing not enough dark pigment, making it look whiter, and emphasizing the yellow in the wings.

It's good for a Pine Siskin but it sure is a very fare version.
