As already noted its an American Goldfinch, also called a Wild Canary -
Carduelis tristis.
The one you captured is a male.

Subject: PESO - Yeller Feller
This isn't really a PESO, but I didn't want to screw up those that
filter PESOs into a separate file by calling it a "non-PESO" or
something like that. This is not being presented for it's artistic or
technical merit, I just want to know what type of bird this is. It's
small (maybe three inches excluding tail?) and very quick (as most
small birds tend to be). There are many of them at the waterfront
park near my place, but capturing one (with camera, that is) has so
far proved elusive:

Can anyone ID this little guy?
Hopefully a better photo will follow one day.
Thanks!
cheers,
frank
