Bird Id?

Hi,

Anyone know what type of bird this is? It landed in my yard a little while ago. I took a few pictures thru a window and then finally went up to the 2nd floor balcony.

Thanks
Paul

Thanks - I just pulled out my peterson's field guide to try figuring it out. Wonder why he is visiting Conn?

With all the rain, he must have thought my yard was a swamp.

It looks delicious.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Likely very rare this far north but range maps do show it spends time here. In Spring everything is reestablishing its territory or searching for new.
