Hi Robin, thanks for the suggestion. I hadn't considered painted bunting since the bird looked so drab. Although I didn't get a very good picture I would've recognized the bright colors right away. With that being said, I compared it to painted bunting songs and it sounds very similar! I've seen both in this area but painted bunting would be pretty rare so early. Larry Manfredi did get pics of a female hanging out with the LPK black-faced grassquit though...hmmmm :-D
