I saw a specimen of an Evening Grosbeak like that.  Andy Jones showed it to 
Wallace Coffey and I when we went to Minnesota a few year back.
We had gone to the display room at the college to compare sizes of different 
birds.
I figured never to see that type of morph again.  Guess it happens more often 
than I thought.

  Hi All,
  This site was posted on VA-Birds. It shows a cardinal that is half male on 
one side and half female on the other, a bi-lateral gynandromorph (Yeah, I had 
never heard of it either).
  Scroll down after reaching the site to see a small picture of the bird.
