I've posted a couple pictures in an album here.

These two were flying around Bull Creek area in Austin, TX. The habitat around the (mostly dry) creek was a mix of grassland/field with dense scrub and juniper/cedar/etc.

What do you think?

It's hard to tell from these photos, but given the color and the bill shape, I'd suggest you check out female Summer Tanager and female Painted Bunting.

My first thought was female Painted Bunting as well, but definitely just a guess.

Female/juvenile-type Painted Bunting for me as well.
