American Goldfinch
Spinus tristis
The American Goldfinch adult male in breeding plumage is predominantly bright lemon-yellow, contrasted with a black forehead, wings, and tail. White wing bars cross the black wings, white markings edge the tail feathers, and the otherwise unmarked yellow back and breast give way to white undertail coverts. Its sharply defined black forehead cap contrasts with the yellow face and short, conical, orange bill, which is bare rather than feathered.
