Looks like one to me. There seems to be a seepage of these down the Cascade
summit right now.

Hi all,
I could use some help with a bird id. I was hiking on Mt Hood yesterday and
saw an unusual bird, one I have never seen before. I was around 5500 ft in
elevation when I saw this bird. The bird let me take several photos and did
not immediately fly away. I thought it was larger than a robin. The closest
id I can attribute to the bird is female pine grosbeak. The bird had a
yellowish head, gray chest, white wing bars, yellow at the base of the tail
and an a substantial beak. Attached are a couple of photos. Could someone
help with my id? First time posting to this group so not sure how the photos
will come across. I was using an older iPhone, so resolution is not great.
Thanks for your help.
