Female Indigo Bunting, yeah - you can see some blue on the wing

It's an Indigo Bunting, but's it's a juvenile. Adults don't have the prominent yellow gape flange. Sex isn't determinable at this stage.

Remind me never to classify something as "female" or "juvenile" again. I honestly have a feeling that I'm wrong every time I do that, and normally I am.

Thanks for the info - it's much easier before all these juvs' hatch! I'm learning a lot this summer
