Hi,
Hoping someone could help identify a bird I've been seeing at my feeder throughout the winter and this spring. It looks similar to a Northern Cardinal but the coloring is different, it has a yellow breast, light brown body with a distinctive yellow beak. There is no hint of red or orange on its body, the size looks to about the same as the rest of the Northern Cardinals I see. It seems to be skittish as it never stays long at the feeder which has made it difficult to get a picture. I have quite a few Northern Cardinal visiting my feeder and the coloring on them is completely different than this bird, at first I thought maybe it was a female Northern Cardinal but it just doesn't come close to same coloring of the other cardinals I'm seeing?
Thanks for any help!
