This bird is an extreme rarity in Ontario.
Initially I thought it was a she.
Since then someone more familiar with this species indicated that in was a young first year bird.
Thanks for looking.

Congrats for getting image such beautiful and rare bird.In all this is magnificent image. Love the colors and wonderful snowy BG in beautiful lights.
Very nicely composed bird with beautiful coloes and details.
I agree, this is the best of this series you have posted thus far. Ideally the head would be turned a few degrees more towards us, but I am digging the overall pose and snowy surroundings. Awesome colours and details too...very well done!
