Sorry about the picture...
Was originally thinking yellow warbler but don't see any streaking on chest.
Thoughts?
Photo'd on Merritt Island, Florida

Body of your bird is too chunky for a warbler and the bill too heavy.
Perhaps a summer version of Scarlet Tanager, although I generally
see them in late-August to early September, if at all. Then there is
the Summer Tanager which I have never seen because I have not been
a good boy.

I would go with female summer tanager, their becks are larger then scarlet's ( as with yours) and Scarlet tanager range is more to north while Summer T are in Florida

This looks like a female or immature Painted Bunting to me. The bill looks to small for a tanager. Also, there is a fair bit of black along the bottom of the wing, which should help eliminate Summer Tanager. However, the black does not seem to extend into the secondaries much, which would help eliminate Scarlet Tanager. The back colour also seems a little to green for a Summer Tanager. Also, I find it unlikely that a tanager would visit a seed feeder.
Hope this helps.

Yeah good point on that green on the back, that's what caught my eye almost right away.
