Can anyone identify this bird? I thought it might be a bluebird but the tail doesn't look blue enough.
Thanks!
(not sure I'll get the image reference right but I'll give it a try...)
Darn, this always sounds so easy until I try to remember the details!I hope some kind soul will help...

Ralphie begs to differ -- this is obviously a blue-checked fluegalfaht...commonly found on the tundra of upper Elbonia; distinguished by their peculiar mating song: "Fluegalfaht! Fluegalfahts!"
Geeeesh! Even YOU should know better! Tis axiomatic!

If the back was green, it would be a painted bunting. It is about the size of a bunting. Here is a good bird ID site:

I have a copy of the Audubon Societs's Birds of N. America & it isn't in it. I am sure it is a member of the wren family, not a native to N. America. It definily has the wren type tail. I checked the warblers & buntings, not there either.
