Have had one outside of my window today. Never seen one before. It's
substantially lighter than what I see in Sibley. If I hadn't seen it with
one of it's parents, I'd have been scrambling to figure out what it was.
The tail feathers have the characteristic white though.

Have also had what acts like a fledging Black-headed Grosbeak around lately.
It's made a few clumsy attempts at the tube feeder, but it's just too big to
negotiate the small perches.
