Odd Blackbird


This bird simply had none of the  rufous overtones of the other female Red-winged Blackbirds.  Is it lacking pigment?  I have zilch experience with young and female type Trikes.  Too bad these pics are not more focused showing the bill.  Sibley mentions separating them by wing shape, but I am not sure what he is talking about.  Of the flock of about 100 red-wings, this was the only one without rufous for the females.
