sometimes they have been spotted in Heather farms.

It does look like a Cassins to me .The dark eye stripe is very clear.
Jellis
This could be a female Purple Finch. Or it maybe a female Cassin's Finch. It's uncommon here.
HemaShah
Sorry Jellis.Yup right hear in the foothills of Mt Diablo.Thnx so much.
Jellis
This maybe either a female Purple or Cassin’s Finch. But you aren’t saying where it was spotted or any other angles.
Jellis
Is this the correct location? It would really help to ID.

Not a Pine Siskin as they have a slender sharp bill, not short and fat like this one. This does have a distinctive notched tail.
