Bird Feeder Visitor

We have a bird feeder, actually two. This is the one with safflower seeds in it during the snow with an unidentified visitor. I think it is a finch of one sort or another and probably male with the bright plumage.

We were doing one of the tidy feeds and admittedly none of the dropped seeds sprouted. On the other hand, I have trouble considering it tidy given who was attracted. We would get grackles by the tens. They aren't tidy and tend to change the color of anything they sit above. We had a dirty deck because of them. I would rather pull some safflower than feed grackles and try to clean the deck.
