Could this be a cowbird with leucism?

Odd looking thing, but my guess is American Goldfinch; not sure if it is really an abnormal plumage or just in the middle of molt.

I was trying to turn it into a Pin-tailed Whydah in molt, but that's not right. I think rkj may be on he right track, but possibly Lesser Goldfinch, not American.

Agree with a ratty molting American Goldfinch. Lesser has a darker cap and greener back.

Ditto to a very faded and heavily worn American Goldfinch :t:
