This bird showed ahead of a strong cold front that began moving through this morning. It's one I've not seen at the feeder before and wonder if someone would be kind enough to identify it. Thank you.

Thank you. It appears to be the female, correct? There have been loads of males around lately, but this was new to me.

You are correct, a female Brown-headed Cowbird.
