Birdie

This little birdie has been sitting on the fence near my kitchen most of the morning and afternoon. I think she likes my neighbor's park-like backyard. She also must have friends nearby because she's been singing like crazy. I can't wait to get settled on our backyard so birds will want to spend time back there too.

I didn't want to scare her away so I used a super zoom on my camera. I'm thinking that's why the color is so muted.

Anyone know what kind of bird she is?

Edit: My friend Loren's coworker supplied me with some additional information. Turns out my she-bird is a HE-bird called a House Finch.
