Redpolls started showing up at my feeder this week. This morning I saw
one that looked and behaved quite differently than the others. I've
never seen a Hoary Redpoll, so I can't be sure, but this one seems to
have some of the hallmarks. Slightly larger, looks plumper, much paler.
He did not mix with the others at the frenzy at the feeder, but held
back on his own and lingered even when the others had gone.
I posted a photo on the facebook group:

I'd love to know what people think.
