This morning I had an interesting bird in my yard.

It was definitely a Grosebeak in size and shape  - light colored bill, Black and White in the wings when it flew.

However: The belly, breast and throat were pure white. No markings on the breast. Markings on the crown indistinct.  Crown and most of Head had a wash of light orange. No black on the head.

Albino immature Rose Breasted Grosebeak?????

I have had Rosebreasted Grosebeaks at my feeders all summer. First sighting of this bird.


Also have 2 Blue winged Warblers, and  Red eyed Vireo for the past week.
