Subject: [wisb] ID Help! Tanager Hybrid?

Hello all!
Once again I need to call upon wisbirders to figure what the heck I was looking 
at today. I was birding at Wyalusing SP today and I was just leaving the boat 
landing when I found this bird right next to the road. I know its a tanager of 
some kind, probably a Scarlet Tanager. But what I had to ask myself is "Is this 
some kind of hybrid?". The bird obviously has patches of red on it, as well as 
alot of yellow. What really throws me off is the amount of gray/brown on the 
back of its head. Any help is greatly appreciated.
