They certainly are sturdy looking birds. Similar in appearance to our Hawfinches.

I get them at my feeder all the time but the ones in my area have different coloring. The males look like they are wearing a tuxedo with a red vest.
They do lots and lots of crunching with those very substantial beaks.
