A small bird with a black cap, olive green back, black and white wings, and a yellow chin, chest, and belly. It is standing on a brown bed of pine litter and leaves.

A small bird with black on a cap, nape, and back, black and white wings, and a yellow chin, chest, and belly. It is standing on a brown bed of pine litter and leaves.

While in Arizona, I found a flock of Lesser Goldfinches that had a mix of green-backed and black-backed males. Green-backs typically occur in the western part of their range while black-backs are in the eastern portion. Portal must be in the mixing zone.
