Redpolls can be difficult to tell apart so I thought I would share my photos of this female Hoary that was in our yard in the Town of Wilson on March 13th. Note the pushed-in bill, pale grayish upperparts, not just the center of the back, and reduced flank streaking. Although not photographed well, the undertail coverts were unstreaked.
