New Bird to Me in North Central Texas?? (1 Viewer)

I just observed two birds sitting on my backfence and was able to get a pretty good photo of one of them before they flew. Haven't seen this one since I became interested in bird watching. What have I got here?

Edit: Looking in my field guide, the only bird I see that looks similar is a juvenile Eastern Bluebird and I do have adult Bluebirds around my home.

You've got a juvenile Eastern Bluebird. Odd that Sibley does not illustrate one but if you look at the other Bluebirds you get the idea.

My American Bird Conservancy Field Guide does show a juvenile bluebird illustration. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had a clue. Thanks for the feedback.
