Need ID help - Black-headed Grosbeak?

17 years ago

I have a not so terrific pic of a bird from this morning. At first it was in the catulpa (sp) tree and I thought it was my rufus sided towhees, but it's way too late for them and my pair have been gone for weeks. Then I thought it was a Bullock's Oriole, but on looking at the pic I got of him/her on the ground it looks more like a Black-headed Grosbeak. I know it's a bad pic, but he flew off before I could ask him to pose in the sunlight and wait for me to get a good shot :)

A couple of pix before this one is a Bullock's I got a couple of years ago. I can see the heads are colored differently, but I'd be more sure if I had a good shot of this morning's beak.
