I know the bird is small in the photo and that makes things difficult; however, I was quite a distance away.

Pretty sure it is a male house finch.....here. Not 100% certain.
The range map shows it lives in Kentucky. The maps are not always accurate as they live here in southern Alberta year round.
This is in our yard.

Sony A7IV and A7III full-frame mirrorless bodies, Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS lens, FE 24mm F1.4 GM lens, Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS, Minolta 100 macro.
Currently using PSE 2023. Also used 2021, 2018, and had PSE 11, 10, 8, 6 and 3; PS LE and full PS.

I believe you are right.

I couldn't tell if the red I was seeing was actually part of the bird or the bright evening sun reflecting off the white salt.

Thanks.
