I will likely have my head in the sand afterwards... this was in a marshy area but doesn't look like a female red winged and wondered if it is a bunting... please don't tell me it's a cowbird :egghead:

I'm sorry but Cowbird was my first impression I could well be wrong though.

I also think it's a Brown-headed Cowbird. Sorry!

I unfortunately must agree with female Brown-Headed Cowbird.

LOL! I guess I am hoping for a unique sighting... female and immature birds often leave me stumped... this one was perched for some time and was probably waiting for me to leave so it could drop an egg into a nearby nest

I guess it was just so still and kind of out of it's element but after all, they are trespassers LOL

You could always call it a Cow-headed Brownbird instead :king:
