I think this is either an American Goldfinch or a House Finch. I sure would appreciate some help. As always, Thank You in advance.

American Goldfinch (winter)

Looks like a female goldfinch to me, but I am no expert. I am fairly sure it is not a house finch.

Male American Goldfinch in non-breeding plumage. The silver collar on the neck is pretty distinctive.
