 Good call Mike.  Seems to be a female American Goldfinch.  Picture from a state's DNR website:

 John I've got a brand new (better classified as unused) Peterson's guide and a rarely used Audubon, we can talk trade.  I have 3 guides so will not miss one.  I like Peterson over Audubon, I can show you both and you choose.

 Appreciate it Phil, but I got yelled at last night when I mentioned "I might pick up a field guide tomorrow to be able to figure out what I'm looking at."
Apparently I ruined a Christmas gift from one of the grandmothers.  

  Never did well with the whole "don't buy anything for yourself during December".  I'll drop a couple hints on the Peterson's guide.  
Thanks for the suggestions from you and striperman36.
