The only question that strikes me is the subdued red of the blackbird's
shoulder.  It's usually brighter -- unless perhaps the female is darker.
Female Red-winged Blackbirds are totally different looking--brown and
streaked, quite sparrow-looking.

I don't think the red in the photo is excessively subdued. It may be
washed out a bit from specular reflection of sunlight.

Thanks, Collin.

I think Matthew must have the explanation, as the other shots I got of him -- when he was taunting me by acting like he was about to take flight -- show much more vivid red spots.
