Pyrrhuloxia [2015]

@TheoV I think the orange bill confirms it is a female northern cardinal. Pyrrhuloxia have yellow bills (though otherwise they are very similar and I have a hard time telling them apart myself).

@Arizona Docent Yeah, this looks like a female Northern Cardinal.

@Arizona Docent Thanks a lot for the correction ! I wasn't aware of the bills' difference between the two species, it comes in handy. The aviary also contains northern cardinal-pyrrhuloxia hybrids so I was even less sure of my identification

Well, I arrived too late to correct the title !
