[Lynn & Steve Brase]

Can anyone please help me identify this bird? I’ve tried bird books but no luck.  Really enjoy everyone’s posts. Thank you. Lynn Brase, Bremer Co.

Rather than suggest first summer Redwing male, I think this is one of the female Redwingeds that have significant amounts of red, often in the area that this bird is showing red.

It is not clear who these birds are.  Some people hypothesize that they are old females.
