Male Lesser Goldfinch with water in beak at a watering hole

This Male Lesser Goldfinch with water in his beak was a surprise visitor to this watering hole in Texas. He had just plunged his beak in the water. They are common in South Texas but very unusual to me. The Male and Female Lesser Goldfinch are noticeably varied visually but their behavior, size and the rapid flight is the same.
