Female Goldfinch or Female Tanager (1 Viewer)

Hello! I just found this forum and couldn’t be more excited! I’m on eBird but could use your assistance identifying the following bird which I photographed tonight in Rock Hill, SC. I know...,the pictures aren’t great. Sorry. Thank you in advance!

I may be wrong but I'm gonna go with Goldfinch.

Thank you for the quick reply and warm welcome. I guess I was leaning towards Tanager due to the lack of white wing bars. I hope to get a better picture this weekend. Thanks, again!

Looks good for Summer Tanager for me. The bill is too big and the wrong shape for a goldfinch.

Agree with Summer Tanager.

Summer Tanager for sure. Bill shape and body shape is completely wrong for Goldfinch. Plus, the wings are not dark and don't have wing bars.

I would have to go with the Summer Tanager consensus. Looks exactly like them. If you go to eBird's macaulaylibrary image gallery and put in Summer Tanager and then do filter for female, your bird would fit right in with the rest.
