Would anyone agree---Indigo Bunting Juvi?

 

[Jeff Hopkins]

Maybe painted bunting?

Painted Bunting was my thought also

At first I thought a PB but look at the beak...Does that match a painted bunting? What do you think?

It's a juvenile IMO with the pink of the gape flanges extending forward onto the base of the bill proper.
