This Grosbeak was one of many that were seen at the English Gardens back last August. There has been much discussion regarding the actual species... Rose breasted or Black headed ... and the answer may lie in a hybrid...
(The following is from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology)... The Rose-breasted Grosbeak hybridizes with the Black-headed Grosbeak where their ranges overlap in the Great Plains. Hybrids can look like either parent species, or be intermediate in pattern, with various combinations of pink, orange, and black. Hybridization occurs most often where the densities of both species are low, and only rarely when densities are high.
