Help with ID - Massachusetts, USA - Unknown Small Bird
Seen in a cemetary, on the edge of some dense brush.
dark greyish beak greyish uppers and wings rusty breast 5-6" below is a terrible picture, but it's the only one I managed to get. the only thing I can think that it might be is an eastern bluebird, although it seemed a little too small to me, but I'm not sure that there are any other likely possibilities. Both Sibley's and Peterson's say Bluebirds are 7", and I really didn't feel that this was that big. any other likely possibilities? Thanks Merg |

Hmm... That's funny.

It looks like a female Eastern Bluebird to me. You can even see the eyering.

Eastern Bluebird was the first thought that hit me when I opened up the thumbnail.
