Observation details

I saw this bird and got these photos through my bathroom window. I was able to relocate it in a different tree about 20 minutes later and got looks from underneath. Having never seen this bird before I consulted various apps on my phone and the only thing I could come up with that matched correctly was Black-Headed Grosbeak. I knew this was a rarity and requested for other folks to review the photos to see what they thought it was. After they said it was a Black-headed Grosbeak also, I felt confident enough to log this. The only thing I could add to the pictures from my viewing is that the colors are correctly represented and there was white under the tail. Otherwise the photos represent what I saw pretty well.
