Greetings. Can you help to identify this bird, found here in CT jumping around in a cow pen? I can't seem to find it in any of my guides.

Sorry but from my side of the pond perhaps you will forgive me I am sure you will soon get a name. Great to have you on Bird Forum
 
Hi Maddove and a warm welcome to you from the entire staff here at BirdForum:t:

I've been staring at this bird for the last 10 minutes and I can't quite wrap my thoughts around it. I might suggest that you post these photos in the "Bird Identification" section here as you will get a lot more feedback there.
 
Hello maddove, a pleasure to meet you from just over the state border. That is certainly an interesting bird. I am curious to see some more responses - I think you should take KC's advice and post it in the "Bird Identification" thread. In any case welcome to the bird forum, tis a great place! |8)|
 
Thanks for the welcome! I will post in the ID section. Also, where can I find a list of terms (i.e. "lifer"). I can guess but would rather be sure.
 
Hello maddove,
And another welcome to the Birdforum. I see that you've got your ID (Brown-headed Cowbird) in the ID subforum. As to your question on birding terms - check out this thread on Birding Terms.
A "lifer" is one's first sighting of a species, ie the first Painted Bunting you ever saw was a lifer.
