[EBB Sightings] ID help, bird photos

To me it looks like a color-morph of a escapee cage canary.

Ok I'm stumped. Doesn't look like anything I've ever seen. Doesn't match
Yellow Grosbeak or anything else in my field guides for Mexico, Panama, SE
Asia, or West Africa. Is this feeder in the East Bay? Has the bird been
back?

It looks somewhat similar to a Yellow Grosbeak (a rare vagrant from Mexico),

although I wouldn't bet on it.

Sorry, I am not much of a computer person. Finally here are the pictures in 
an acceptable way.  This bird was here the day of the storm and the next 
day. Perhaps an escapee.
Thanks, Gina
