Assuming it's in North America, it might be one of these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pine_Grosbeak http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_Finch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_Finch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassin's_Finch You'll have to look at the maps of the ranges and work it out for your actual location. It might also help to post a photo of its face and/or front. Beaks and breast coloring are often useful identifiers.
