Thank you, pixipixil, I didn't know that the male cardinals were the red ones. I can tell by the body shape that this is a cardinal, but the colors threw me WAY off! lol
Had an interruption phone call from a neighbor about her cell phone so took longer to do than it would have had with no interruptions Haven't seen a cardinal like this.
The females are more of a cross between light tan and terra cotta. This photo is a bit on the light side from the sun hitting the feathers.

I have never torn a cotta in my life, as far back as I can remember - which would be yesterday.

Your accent is showing ParsonW. My accent sounds more like terror cotta than tear a cotta. but it's all good when it adds up to a pun.
So I'm glad your cotta isn't torn because I've never seen any menda cottas around.

All the males are red. None of the females are. The males are the pretty ones.

Pixipixil, the menda cottas are now extinct, unfortunately. They were killed off during the plague. :-((()

I don't know. If I were a cotta and my cousin cottas were extinct I don't think I could relax even if I'd have gotta cotta sanctuary to stay in. Those cotta poachers are sneaky dudes.
So I'm glad your cotta isn't torn because I've never seen any menda cottas around.
