Hi @pkramer1940, it was in Tortuga Bay on Santa Cruz Island. I think you're right, I looked it up and came across this one : http://www.pbase.com/wmarissen/image/97780333 . They look very similar...

Hi @Liam, I'm afraid not. I realise now that the beak profile is most important to specify the exact type of Finch... I do have another picture of a finch taken nearby that day, and I am pretty sure it was the same type. I will post that picture as well, I believe it has the beak in profile. Thanks!
Liam
Any shot of the beak profile?
