Any ideas on this one? These were taken by a friend who is looking for an ID. The color may be off a bit as these were shot in early morning light

I would go with Indigo Bunting. Notice the faint breast streaking.

Best,
Jim

Thanks Jim. That seems to be the consensus on this bird but there appears to be too much of a white wing bar for Indigo Bunting IMO.

Yes, I noticed that. But they can show a faint wing bar, and the light might just be hitting it right. The breast streaking and white throat, are both good for Indigo Bunting -- and not for Lazuli Bunting, which is the primary alternative.

Best,
Jim
