Would one of you knowledgeable hoggers please identify the bird at the bird bath with the molting male cardinal?

I may be wrong BT but it could be a juvenile Cardinal, I'm not too sure about your American birds. Good shots..

Scarlet Tanager.
The scarlet tanager is a medium-sized American songbird. Until recently placed in the tanager family, it and other members of its genus are now classified as belonging the cardinal family. Wikipedia
So it is the Cardinal's cousin!

I Agree... Thought for a minute maybe a summer tanager but took a closer look!
Cool shots BT and a cool find!

I think that is a Tanger. Compare the bills between the two birds.

Good eye. You are right. At first I thought they were both cardinals.

I see that I misspelled "Tanager."
