I just adopted 4 mistreated finches from a rescue. Three are Zebra finches and one I just found a picture of under gallery, but I have no idea what type of finch it is. The picture which is an exact match to my finch is under Gallery - Adult Finches and is the second picture from the left in the top row - Gorgeous Male. Can anyone help me identify what type of finch this is?
Thanks.
Bill.

Looks like a Shaftail to me. Congratulations on your new fids and welcome to the Finch Forum.

Thank you for the quick response.
My wife and I are really enjoying our new little flock and they are certainly taking well to there new, much larger surroundings.
His beak is bright red.

In that case it definately is a shaftail.
Enjoy them, they definately are real little characters.
