Hi, I took this picture today in Northern Virginia; I think it is a juvenile Indigo Bunting, what do you think?

Thanks in advance,
Howard

Agree

Looks better for a Blue Grosbeak to me. Darker, richer brown color, prominent wingbar, and large bill.

I like Grosbeak as well.

Thanks, this is why I asked; I thought it looked somewhat different than what I would expect from an Indigo Bunting.
