After winning my bets, Tony asked me to come look at this beautiful bird on one of our feeders. Neither he or I know what kind of bird it is. So, will someone let me know? Here it is sharing the feeder with a sparrow and another with a cardinal.

Laugh out loud!
What a baffling bird! The head looks like a female black-headed grosbeak's, but the rest of the plumage looks like the non-breeding-season (Aug-Mar) plumage of the male black-headed grosbeak's!
I'm going to go with your "mystery" bird being a male in 'drab' winter plumage, but I've read enough of your recent blogs to know not to bet you any MONEY on it!
LOL!
