Gray-crowned Rosy Finch

August 2015 – Sierra Nevada Highlands

I’m still not 100% certain this is a Gray-crowned Rosy Finch, but it seems to be an immature bird. Those can be pretty hard to identify, but the list of suspects in an environment like this is small. (Alpine terrain above 10,000ft elevation).
