I have a redpoll here that seems to have both characteristics of a common and a hoary Redpoll. It is a very white bird with totally white rump and white undertail coverts, and stood out quite considerably among a flock of roughly 15-20 common redpolls. Plumage very much resembles a hoary for ID purposes but GISS, bill morphology, skull and lack of extensive nasal tufts seem to point more towards a common.
