She was trapped in my garage here in Upstate NY. Caught her with a fish net took pictures and released. Anyone know this bird. She also has rose coloring under wing.

Hi,

I think it's a Rose-breasted Grosbeak, possibly an immature male.

Cheers

Oh. Thank you. Makes sense. Working on car fingernails sorry.

Ditto to juvenile male Rose-breasted Grosbeak, so it's a boy

If it had been a girl, the underwing would've been yellow, not rose pink :t:

Well done on the successful capture and release, not an easy task!

Thanks nutcracker, did not know the yellow female pink male underwing grosbeak coloring. I initially went to house and purple finches with that beak and color with no luck.
