Same picture - different shutter speeds live view vs. viewfinder?

If you wish to put your mind at ease, you can do comparison readings of a evenly-lit blank wall (suggest indirect daylight) in Av mode. The two systems should return the same or very similar shutter speeds.

1.3 EV is more than twice as much light to the sensor and a significant difference, though not particularly unusual for live view vs. viewfinder measurements. I don't believe there is reason to believe there is a problem with the camera.

That is not unusual. The two views use two different metering systems. Both are evaluative, but the scene interpretations do not always result in the same numbers. In your case, the two are a full stop different for that photo. Normally, a full stop difference should result in obvious difference in brightness (2x). I am not familiar enough with Bridge to know whether or not there is a setting to optimize (shift histogram) on import, though something like that might explain the identical appearance.
