Winter Goldfinch? Reston, VA, USA (1 Viewer)

I took this photo yesterday in an open field near a lake in Reston, Virginia. I think it might be a male goldfinch all dressed up for Thanksgiving. Can anyone confirm or correct this ID? Thank you.

So that proves that I can't implant a mental image in your brain, even if I concentrate really hard. Just checking.

I'll upload it here.

American Goldfinch - the only kind of goldfinch you are likely to find in Virginia.
