Taken in Palo Alto, CA. Not such a good shot, but I was enchanted by the pretty song she (or her companion) was singing ... flew off too quickly for me to "reload."

I believe it's a Western Bluebird female, though there are other members that are more knowledgeable than I am.

Here is a link to a page from The Cornell Lab of Ornithology's "All About Birds". If you scroll down the page you'll find a picture of an adult female. You might find the info helpful.
