Sure your purple wasn’t a house finch?

I'll try to get a photo for you. Definitely had the purple (Lighter red) over it's head. House finches have less (and in streaks). We do have house finches too.

That’s ok. Sounds like you know the difference. Nice bird to have

Haven't seen a purple in long time. House finch seems to have totally displaced them in my Twin Cities hood. Decades ago would see both at the feeder, then no purples.
