    Any help with the ID would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey Keith, nice shot! My call is hatch year Lazuli Bunting, based on the mandibles being different tones, the wing bars, the breast markings (although not diagnostic) along with my "feeling" that this is a Lazuli. Let's see what the experts have to say.

    ps. I also seem to be seeing a bit of blue in the shoulder area as I look again.
