Greetings, All. Just signed up, can't identify this one and it is driving me nuts! Noticed this little fella at our birdbath a few days ago, he/she brought some friends back today and this time my camera was nearby. It looks like some type of thrush but the blue tail and blue edges on the wings have got me guessing. This was taken in southwest Indiana just a few miles north of the Ohio River. The blue made me think "Indigo Bunting" but the bill isn't the same. Couldn't identify using the search engine. Have more pics but will have to send them separately or downsize them more.
Thanks!Attached File  DSCN2182a.jpg   1.04MB   49 downloads

I would not have suspected bluebirds becuase of the lack of the orange breast....

Took both pics through a double glazed picture window with a Nikon P90 coolpix.

Thanks!!

Here's another shot. This one posed for me!
