Their range supposedly just extends into Colorado, and where I saw this bird this morning (the place formerly known as Bonny Lake State Park on the far eastern side of Colorado, near the Kansas border) makes sense. However, given the grainy shot, I wanted to confirm. Can't really think what else it could be.

You got it. With the extent of the bright yellow on the breast contrasting with the rusty tail its gotta be a GCF. Nice find!
