Burd, My vote on your shot is a female RwBB. That is a beautiful photo!!!

This is one that I have of what I'm pretty sure is a young male RwBB. It was shot in June in south Texas. It was with a group of RwBBs.

And just for the record, I still think the OPs bird is a female RwBB. All the ones I've seen have a more robust beak than the one in Sibley's. And they do forage on the ground. There are lots of them in TX.
