nwyman Cream of the Crop  More info | May 24, 2017 16:46 | #1 but I am never sure if it is a Blue Grosbeak or an Indigo Bunting. Cannot see the wing bars, but I am fairly sure this is a pair of Indigo Buntings. She doesn't look all that impressed with him. There were Grosbeaks around as well, with evident wing bars, but they all looked kind of scruffy and coming out of moult.   courting Indigo Buntings by nancy wyman, on FlickrEOS 6D, SX50HS, Tamron 150-600

PaulA Cream of the Crop  More info | Beautiful shot, the bunting seems to have a different quality of blue then the grosbeak, a brighter blue whereas the grosbeak has a bit of purple? I'm sure this is a grosbeak.  Image hosted by forum (857086) © Paul A [SHARE LINK] THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff. GearList

I'm sure this is a grosbeak. the quality of the blue is affected by the amount of light when the shot is taken. Or so it has always seemed to me. EOS 6D, SX50HS, Tamron 150-600

It's hard for me to say without seeing a profile/wings; but, this does look like a Bunting to me, rather than Grosbeak. The beak is thinner/lighter than what I expect out of the Grosbeaks; as well as the high "bridge" of the beak.
