[CT Birds] More from Sibley on Redpoll ID

[Mntncougar at aol.com]

I have a flock of 50+ Redpolls that has been frequenting my  yard and nyjer 
feeders for over three weeks now, and there are a couple of birds  that are 
noticeably lighter in color.  (A few seem noticeably larger too,  but that's 
another story).  Unfortunately the main feeder they use is about  75 feet from my 
back door making useful photography impossible with the  equipment I have.  
Also, they flush or fly from 1 feeder to another  frequently, making it harder 
to keep track of 1 bird.  The one in the  pictures at the following links was 
on a sock somewhat closer - about 35  feet.  I've read everything on the Sibley 
site and I've been staring at  these and I give up.  Experts please - any 
chance this guy (or girl) is a  candidate to be a Hoary?
