Anyone know what this is? Brown headed cowbird or maybe brown thrasher?? Make sure to hit the square icon on the bottom right to make the video full screen, you can see him pretty good like that.

A little hard to see in the video, but the bird on the feeder appears to be a female House Finch. Size and feeding style is right. Overall brownish bird with washed out streaking.

And I was thinking a female Northern Cardinal.

yes exactly, thanks so much. I looked up a picture and that's definitely it. I have seen the males frequently, but they are so distinctive.

thanks for the response. Barbets48 suggested a female House Finch and I was able to sit out by the feeder and get a closer look which matched perfectly with that. The males come to the feeder all the time and they are so easy to recognize, I forget about the females.
