Saffron Finch (Siscalis flaveola) - SAFI - Beak full of grass seeds (Best appreciated large)
Although it is called a "Finch" it's actually a Tanager! This bird appeared in a friend's backyard and she graciously invited some friends to come see and get some shots of it.
More info:
Although commonly regarded as a canary, it is not related to the Atlantic canary and is actually a Tanager. Formerly, it was placed in the Emberizidae, but it is close to the seedeaters. The Saffron Finch is also known as Brazilian Saffron Finch, Brazilian Bunting, Brazilian Canary, Northern Saffron Finch, and Jamaican Wild Canary.
