Welcome to Project Noah, wilnelia.recart! This is a lovely spotting. Please consider adding this to the Southern California Wildlife mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/7964554
this looks more like a common house finch to me. purple finches are reddish-purple all over, whereas house finches have brown wings. This one has brown wings, so i say house finch. we get them quite a bit here in PA
