I agree with Rick Phillips' Scarlet Tanager call.  The size and shape of the 
bill.  The dark wings.  The overall shape and color.  The size of the bird as 
relayed by Ron Harrington.

  Looks like a Scarlet Tanager to me.

    Here is a picture of a bird that has been hanging out at John and Martha 
Gibson's back yard, coming in for water. Does not use the feeders. Picture was 
taken today, October 30. Can you identify? They describe the color as 
greenish-yellow, size about that of a cardinal. Thanks.

    This is the only picture I have so far and the light from the sun makes it 
hard to see. It should be back and I'll try again.
    Thanks for your interest.
