Observation details
Called this bird an Indigo Bunting in the field but after reviewing photos the beak morphology and lack of patterning in the wings is a better fit for Varied. This birds general lack of wing pattern closely matches the birds here- https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/541568511 which was documented at the same time of year, and here- https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/252259891. I have received input from a few reviewers and others more familiar with splitting the two species confirming Varied Bunting. 3rd county record outside of the known nesting site on San Andres NWR.
