Agelaius phoeniceus
The common name for the Red-winged Blackbird is taken from the mainly black adult male's distinctive red shoulder patches, which are visible when the bird is flying or displaying. At rest, the male also shows a pale yellow wingbar. The female is blackish-brown and paler below.
Spotted beside a pond in a woodland habitat.
