Bird ID help

Please excuse the dirty windows...they all hide when I go outside...
So...is this fellow a purple finch or a house finch?
I really didn't question it-figured it was an average house finch-until I saw the female.
Female above
Female right
She just seems so much stripier than I recall female house finches being that I started to doubt myself.
Opinions? Thanks!

That would be great! I've never actually been able to ID one for sure here.

Thanks! He's even more striking in real life. I am now on a mission to get a non-window picture of them!
