Is this a female Brown-headed Cowbird?


This bird has been visiting my feeder for the past week or so - and I live in an urban area away from any typical RWB habitat. The white edge to the red epaulets do not appear consistent to my guides in which a RWB have a pale yellow edge. Any guidance will be most welcome.

1. Yes, female Brown-headed Cowbird.

2. Red-winged Blackbird, they are often seen in urban areas too. Probably just faded buffy/yellow colouring.
