Bird watching contest - name this bird

Well, not really a contest, but it may be fun. I've been setting up feeders in my back yard, which resembles a zoopark. I am seeing more and more birds of a wide variety. I'm not really an avid birdwatcher, and I'm quite ignorant of species (that's a black bird, that's a blue bird, that's a cardinal--that's about it for me

). So, what about if I post a pic and you guess/research/ID the bird. There could be a prize or two. Be sure to cite your source. If you agree with someone's answer, feel free to second it with your proof

Bird #1 American Gold Finch

PS: I cannot answer for the quality of the photography, I'm no Horsa and most of the pics are taken through a window
