Banjoman Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Location: Berryton, Kansas May 19 2020 This guy was hanging around yesterday afternoon. He is smallish, finch size. Indigo Bunting or Blue Grosbeak? I've seen a similarly colored bird here before, but it was considerably larger. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Cochrane Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 By bill shape and size, I'm going Blue Grosbeak, but I've never seen one that looks like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 This is definitely an Indigo Bunting with the teal color, smaller build, and lack of chestnut wingbars. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Cochrane Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) Is this photo edited? And if so how? Edited May 20, 2020 by Connor Cochrane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneat Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Yes, definitely not a Blue Grosbeak. Agree with @The Bird Nuts for reasons mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banjoman Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 The photo is not edited, other than cropped. I have a high quality camera on a tripod. Here is another view. White Clover flower behind his head for perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdbrain22 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Definite Indigo Bunting ... on color alone. Blue Grosbeaks are larger, a deeper blue, have a larger beak and rufous wing bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
