I made some composites of 2 Redpolls, each on opposite sides of my feeder, both were present at the same time, on Feb. 19, 2013. (I just now downloaded the pictures from this camera). Photos were taken through a window, so a bit smeary in a few spots. Front and back views. Taken within minutes of each other. I think the right hand bird is a Hoary Redpoll. It has an all white undertail, much finer streaking and less of it, perhaps a smaller bird , though the shot angles were different so hard to tell. The backs are different too, with the Hoary having more white and a slightly different pattern.   I would be happy to discuss any opinions to the contrary.
