I think this is right because this bird is shaped like the other bird I posted two days ago except of the red which is on the other one. The one with red must have be the male and this is his mate.
I would assume by the birds featured in your pictures that you live in the midwest of the USA. I would guess that you are correct in your identification of this and the male in your previous picture. The house finch and purple finch are very similar and I am not good at differentiating between them by sight. We only have the hose finch here (as best I know). (N)
Because of you I'll probably go out some day to do some photos of birds..:)
