Re: Rosy-Finch?

Well this might be a bit of a stretch based on this one photo but
it strikes me as possibly a Brambling. Do you remember seeing this
bird? Any possibility of more photos?

markings on the leading edges of the coverts – so I’m wondering if
this isn’t a juvenile, going into first winter.  Any feedback? 
I’m unsure how this photo is going to post, so if it’s wonky, I’ll
retry.  Thanks,  Liz, Emmett ID
