Passerina ciris

Psalm 106:1-2, Praise ye the Lord. O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth forever. Who can utter the mighty  acts of the Lord? who can shew forth all his ​praise?

The female came a few times in April 2019.  We never saw the male (male is the one who is beautifully colored) at the house.  Abby and Cj did see the male sitting in a tree a few houses down.  The male never came near in 2019. 
 In April 2020, the female has appeared again multiple times to the feeder.  Male still hasn't appeared  though a neighbor saw the male come to her feeder. ​
