It would be nice to have an overall impression of the size of the bird, if
possible.

Doesn't the bill appear to be too massive for a canary?

I am not sure at all what this bird is but it Could be a Brimstone Canary
from South Africa. A major on=line supplier had them listed recently but
are currently out of stock. Can you tell me if there is a Buddhist
monastery in the vicinity of where this bird was seen? Perhaps it is a
recent release.

I saw this bird on August 5 on a hike outside of Austin, TX. While I
think it might be a yellow grosbeak, I also know that they are not known
come that far north. On the other forum I posted to, they recommended Ithe
try a listserv. So I thought I might ask... I've included a link to the
"original" photo as well as the "lightened" (not saturated) version as
pic was very backlit (unfortunately).permission
