Need help on Bluebird ID
Hello from Central Texas, I live right outside San Antonio. This afternoon I was taking a shot of a male cardinal with my camera when I noticed something blue in the background. No Sun out but I could see it was a male bluebird with its mate. The male & female was a little smaller then a house sparrow. I checked my bird book and the bluebird I saw I'm sure was not a Indigo and I'm sure if it's a Mountain bluebird. Mountain bluebirds have some white on the breast and mine did not. The Indigo is I think a lot darker blue so I'm stumped on the ID. It was eating seed from the ground. The male did have some dark streaks on the top wings. Thanks from Richard L.

Certainly looks to be an Indigo Bunting. Very nice. Much more brilliant than the ones I am seeing right now.
