I Feel I Always ? This One ~

Every time that I view, or photograph, or post one of these, I feel that I always question my judgement as to whether, or not I am correct.  So many bird identification books and so many different photographs and so many that look almost right, but they are not, and so many that look like something else and they are not, whew, it gets a little daunting and yet so much fun.  Thus, if I am wrong on this one, just be kind and tell me right out that I am wrong ;)  In these photos it looks like I have captured a first autumn female, but not certain about that either.  Whatever it is, it was and is lovely.  It enjoyed eating some of the very rotten Crabapples from the ground, just before winter hit and ruined the lot of what remained~
