    Not sure of the white belly but everything else says Indigo Bunting. That said, try female Lazuli Bunting (a bird with which I am not familiar). I am in motel room without a Sibley....

    Rob- Agree with Artie this looks like a female finch-like bird of some sort. The conical-shaped bill eliminates the warblers.

    I too am lost without my Sibley but do have the Nat. Geo. book. On this bird I note the light throat, darkish upper breast and faint striping in the dark. These field marks match a female or young Indigo Bunting. The range map in the Nat. Geo. book fits with this ID too.

    Agree on F. Indigo Bunting, and according to Sibley the fine streaking on the breast does not occur on Lazuli.
