Any idea what this might be? "A brown bird with a red head, a little smaller than a dove" (Lakewood, NJ).
Do you want to play a board game, digitally or in Lakewood NJ? PM me. (Can be asynchronous, i.e. take turns whenever)

Agree. Scale can be hard with birds if you don't se the two together, but this definitely sounds like a house finch.
