Is this a Warbler or a Goldfinch? Can any of you help? Taken today in north-central Indiana, USA.

This is a juvenile male goldfinch. I'd say your's is about to gain the more normal color - of bright yellow very soon. Also the black eye marks will arrive later.

Goldfinches in the US are going through their Spring coloration changes.

They can look almost yellow/green at one point. And not look perfectly put together as well.

I'd say this is a Goldfinch! 😉 Could be a juvenile male as well. Not sure about breeding seasons except here.

I googled pictures of both and it looks like neither.

It's definitely not a goldfinch - unless US goldfinches are different to UK goldfinches, as is the case with robins and buzzards!

This is from the National Audubon Society’s page on American Golfinches ... it sort of looks the same ... maybe?

@WombatLima kinda. I usually just look at birds and think they are pretty and don't worry about the names

@WombatLima Could be, then - I'd say that's the same species. Our goldfinches look like this... 🙂

@Jnei I like your Goldfinch more
