Nice shot. However, I have yet to see one, but this looks more like a Purple Finch to me. The reddish color highlighting the breast as it moves down from the thick color makes me think that.
But I ain't sure...not like any House Finch I have seen here.

Gee Bret, I have yet to see one this winter. I do see quite a few goldfinches. Good grab!

WOW, Bret... awesome capture.
Got this from pbase.com
"The most obvious field mark is the bill. The bill of the Purple Finch is conical shaped
whereas the upper mandible of the House Finch is curved downward."
