Hi: I'm looking for a positive ID on this bird. Strongly back-lit so details aren't the best. Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks for the ID.

Except for being out of range, how do you differentiate this Scarlet from a Summer?

The leg and beak colors were throwing me off.

Summer Tanagers have larger bills and more yellow in the tail.
