Mountain Bluebird?

Post by MtnAg08 »

I'm guessing this is a mountain bluebird but I've never seen one with a breast like this so just making sure it's not something different. Avon, CO. Thanks!

The spotted breast is common for many juveniles, including bluebirds. I'm not confident in identifying the species beyond juvenile Bluebird, so wait for more input.

It appears to have spots on its back, which is a trait of the Western Bluebird.
