When I searched the pic, I learned that there are hundreds of color variations. I took this picture in Elkins in May.

Painted Bunting. Odd head color.

Whatever it is this is a beautiful bird.

That's a mountain lion. The tail is a dead giveaway.  :)

Correct.  Finches have shorter, more triangular bills, and I'm not familiar with any that are this color.

I'm sure it's nothing that a $500 retainer can't fix.  Contact JackRabbit Hog for payment instructions.

Must correct myself.  Had the bird book out today trying to identify something, and the OP's bird is not a painted bunting.  It is a Summer Tanager.

-1 to me for the original misidentification.
