In the weeds at Ridgefield NWR

I've never really looked closely at one of these guys - very interesting.

Nice detail, Dave I like #2 the best out of the two.

Thanks Jim, I was surprised at the markings.

Is it moulting Dave to its winter plumage?

Good shots. For all these are common, they do have amazing colours.
