Red-winged. See comparison pic here......Trikes are the ones with the deeper red bordered with white, and longer, thinner bill. Right front in this pic.

Okay. Thanks for the tips. The white really stands out in a few of the birds.

Yep. Those are the Tri-coloreds. The ones with the orange patches with yellow in this pic are Red-wingeds.
