it was hanging out with a male Cardinal, but I dont know if it's a female Cardinal or not. The color doesn't match the females I've seen. Also with the black pattern around the beak, I think it's a male without any red.
I do have rose breasted grosbeaks too, but it doesn't match the female grosbeaks here.
The photo was taken today and I live in Northern Iowa
the only PP was cropping and a little exposure and sharpening in LR
thanks for looking

I could not find your bird so I forwarded one of your images to the best birder I know. It is a Harris's Sparrow. It is also, most likely, a young one molting into its adult plumage!
