Goldfinch at my feeder.
Pine warbler, not a goldfinch.

I think that is a Pine Warbler rather than a Goldfinch. Notice the bill compared to the more conical bill of the Goldfinch. I don't see them here very often but have seen several this week.

Good catch. I think you are correct.
We have lot's of house finches here, and I assumed it was a goldfinch.

Thanks.

I mainly noticed because I've seen a few Pine Warblers here the last few days so I recognized it from IDing them. I also get a lot of house finches. A few days ago I counted 16 either in a tree or on the feeder. Here's a shot of one I got today with my K1ii and DA* 300.

Amazing images, Gary! You make me think that I should've bought that lens in Tokyo.
