Not purple - but 'rose red'
My National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of North America says the Purple Finch is rose red over most of its adult body and brightest on the head and rump. They are moderately common in eastern North America and are normally found in mixed woodland or coniferous borders. They have a rich, somewhat short warbling song. I had them regularly in winter at the backyard feeders.
