Help with Bunting(?) ID - U.S.-Central Ohio (1 Viewer)

I shot this today, but didn't get a good look at the bird at the time because it was backlit against a bright sky. I assumed it was a Sparrow because it was in an area with a lot of Sparrows. Now that I've seen the image it's obvious it isn't a Sparrow.

Is this a Bunting - maybe an Indigo Bunting in fall plumage?

Any help you can provide is appreciated.

Hi prweasel,

What you've got here is a female House Finch.
