Looks like an Eastern Bluebird, possible a female of the species,

That's an Eastern Bluebird - but I think it's a male. The females red breast is much "duller" in hue and color.

An eastern bluebird if you shot it N America Please give some geo reference when asking for I D.A bird like this might also live on a Pacific island with a different name. Thanks. Nice shots.. Was he in your yard or by a marsh?

Could be a male western bluebird if location is southwest, e.g. Texas, CA. Please provide location.

Western Bluebird. Easterns have all blue backs and Westerns have the rusty colored backs.

Chuck

Thanks for the ID. I'm in Southern California, USA. Took it at a fairly large park that has a lake and wet areas.
