Very like - the easiest clue to telling them apart (looking at my
National Geo bookand photos below) the redpoll has that little cap on
his head and the house finch has a streak of red just above the eye but
below the crown. I've only seen a redpoll in Alaska and the Yukon.

They tend to hang around our place during summer. I like them as they merrily
chirp while flying around, which they seem to do all day.
Cheers,

Yes, you're right - a House Finch which I should have read in your caption. I
just thought Robin Redbreast!
We have some small ones like that called Firefinches:

Our Robins are all Cossypha spp.

I'm pretty sure it's a finch, based on the shape of the beak - something
I learned from PDML.

Such a delicate little thing. Bird naming conventions differ a lot from
country to country. Robin immediately sprang to mind. Then, what you
call a Robin is actually a Turdus sp. - Thrush family.
