What kind of bird am I?

Delmar, my wonderful photographer friend from Colorado, found this bird sitting in a wild rose bush near their house today. He thinks that perhaps the bird's a finch, but he wasn't sure. I'm not either. 
Any of you bird experts know what this pretty little thing is?



Have fun bringing in the New Year this evening. Be careful and God's richest blessings. Looking forward to sharing 2011 with you!
