Page 284 of Sibley Birds West (field guide) shows this to be Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, the red above the wing may just be some kinda of reflection or as the book refers to a bright pink under wing. A great capture.

It's a nice shot, what kind of bird, is the red on the wing natural?

but the eastern appears to show a little red near the shoulder. I had to look real close. There was nothing above him so I don't think it was reflection.
