Title: RFI - ID bird please?
Post by: KimD on May 25, 2007, 08:50:39 PM

Hi.  First time poster here.

Hopefully the image is attached (and I know it's not the greatest, he/she moved around a lot)
Can anyone help ID this one?

That's an American Redstart.  

It's either a female or a first year male.  It looks like the bird is partly in sun and partly in shade, so I'm not sure which colours are true.  The light patches on the wings, tail and breast would be yellow on a female, orange on a first year male.
