American Redstart?

 

[Storm-Petrel]

i agree

 

[birderbf]

I don't ... they should have flycatcher bristles around the base of the beak. As usual, birds in the hand look very weird. For some reason reminds me of a robin, but I know it isn't...

 

[prairiemerlin]

No one is right yet... actually, birds look normal in the hand and weird in the field... :eek!:

 

[Storm-Petrel]

this is really extreme, even stupid: ovenbird?

 

[prairiemerlin]

Too bad Ovenbirds don't have black heads! :smoke:

 

[Storm-Petrel]

hey, i said it was stupid (pssst, can ya keep a secret? im just trying to boost my number of posts up) lol jk

 

[bebirder]

I would say American Goldfinch that had its head dipped in acid

 

[tyrannulet]

*waits for someone to answer it right* I dont got a clue what it is... :\

 

[prairiemerlin]

Still all wrong... you have to think slightly outside the box for this one. Hint: it is a second-year male.

Good one,
I agree!!

Varied Thrush?

 

[prairiemerlin]

OK, no one has come close, so here's a slightly more zoomed out version... this will probably make it waaay too obvious. :-C

some species of oscine????????

 

[tim.birdboy]

A Baltimore Oriole? (did someone guess that?)

 

[birderbf]

I'm with Storm-Petrel. Nine-primaried Oscine.

Are you sure it ain't a robin?

 

[prairiemerlin]

Finally... Tim got it - it is (well, was) a second-year male Baltimore Oriole! :t:
