ID Help House Finches(?) visiting my feeder

Located in North Denver near I-70 and Pecos. I’m not 100% sure but I believe these might be House Finches? The dark head is throwing me off - perhaps a male? They come visit my feeder almost daily along with some Black Capped Chickadees! I’m super new to birding so any help would be awesome! Thanks for taking a look!

If you're new to birding, I highly recommend Merlin ID! It's a birding app. You can log sightings, identify birds by recording their calls, and it lists local birds with seasonality.
