I thought r.b.grosbeak, but most of you said dickcissel, one said bobolink,
one said meadowlark. I'm going with *dickcissel*; it has all the
characteristics of that species. It does look similar to a bobolink,
except for the dark stripe behind the eyes.
Thanks, everyone for your time and expertise. I'm glad to be a part of
this group of bird enthusiasts.

Hey, Friends,
I was looking through old photos and saw this (attached); I took this
photo on May 17, 2020. It's the only one I have of this bird. I'm hoping
you can tell me what this bird is. Six days before I took this photo I had
a rose breasted grosbeak in my backyard, so I'm thinking this might be an
immature r.b.grosbeak, maybe female. Any thoughts?
This is the first time I've used the listserve. I hope I'm doing this
right. Is the listserve meant to be used for this kind of thing...IDing
birds?
