This bird frequents the feeders in the backyard, usually in the morning and with a large family of red-winged black birds.
The bird is similar in size and shape to a female RWBB, but the coloring is wrong. She is a lighter tan on the back, with a solid cream underside, and very skittish. The tan color almost seems to have a very slight drab greenish tint to it in certain light. The bird readily feeds at the finch mix and was even seen at the bird bath this morning.
My first inclination is an Indigo Bunting. I first saw this bird about 3 weeks ago at my feeders.
Can anyone help? I do apologize for the photo. The lighting is bad, and I took it through the screen on my porch.
