Maybe an Indigo Bunting, or the Blue Grosbeak.

It’s a molting male Indigo Bunting. Bill is too small for grosbeak.

My guest is a first/year male Indigo Bunting also, as I have the same bird at my feeder.

Rob7789 is correct. That is an adult indigo bunting (not during mating season).

Look here, on the pictures if you click the right arrow it will come to one that is molting - looks a lot neater than your bird.

Or here, googled Indig Bunting molting and clicked on images, a few of these look like your bird.

Thanks, rob7789. I'm leaning towards Indigo Bunting in molt.

I have to agree, it's an Indigo Bunting.

I agree. It might be mating season now, though.
