when I first saw it my first thought was a parakeet but, obviously, that is not what it is.

Thanks Feral One,

With your suggestion on Melanistic, I did find this link which shows the opposite of Melanistic called Leucism. I don't know which is right, but there is a pic of a very similiar goldfinch like my pic. I admit that I am no Birdologist so let me know what you think.

10-4 ! i guess the melanistic would be like a dark deer or a black gar like some that i have gotten while bowfishing. i have heard the other word , but i ain't always quick to remember . either way, you found a treasure !!!
