    You should have submitted this to the birdQUIZ blog!! My guess (note guess) is one of the crossbills!

    Next time I've got a good one, I'll submit it. You guessed wrong, unfortunately. This was harder than I thought. There aren't that many birds with pink on them.

    Tough one for sure. My first impression is Pyrrhuloxia. Challenging, nice!

    Sorry Mike, that's not it either. Patrick was closest so far.

    No, but that's a pretty good guess too. Perhaps I'll drop another hint. Patrick was closest so far, and it's a western species, so it may not come to mind easily to our eastern minds.
