How to tell a male goldfinch from a female?
Upon closer inspection, male European goldfinches can often be distinguished by their larger, dark red mask that extends just behind the eye. The shoulder feathers are black, while the female's are brown. In females, the red face does not extend beyond the eye. The ivory-colored bill is long and pointed, and the tail is forked.
