[Birdnet] Black-backed Lesser Goldfinch

[Tim Gorman]

There was what appears to be a black-backed Lesser Goldfinch among other Lesser Goldfinches and some Pine Siskins on my daughter's feeder in Evanston, Wyoming today. They have seen the bird for 4 or 5 days. 

I showed a Cornell Lab stock photo of a black-backed Lesser and the household agrees, as I do,  that's what was observed. 

It may be a black-backed/green-backed cross, but the back is mostly black with a hint of dark green on the nape and mantle. 

We have a camera with a telephoto lens ready by the feeder.
