Interesting. I just photographed a similar bird at the Lab of O on Wednesday. https://picasaweb.google.com/KevinJ.McGowan/Winter20122013#5845209877838564322 (and following). It was the palest male House Finch I think I've ever seen.

He was an ORANGE VARIANT house finch. Peterson has a good picture of what we saw, but gives no other information. Sibley notes a yellow variant, with a picture. We'll check on the yellow one on our next SW visit. We've listed the orange one on our Yard list. S. & S.
