This female Painted Bunting was foraging in the same location as the male pictured in the post below. Though her plumage is not as brilliant as that of the male, she was still quite colorful with her bright greenish feathers. She was less reticent than the male so I got to watch her for several minutes and got several pics.
A few blue feathers on the shoulder area and a few around the head area show up in several pics.
Birds of North America online states that females in Basic I plumage may have blue feathers on their heads.
This female and the male Painted Bunting, in addition to foraging close together, interacted at one point. This makes me wonder if they are paired-up. SeEtta
