Passerina versicolor
Pretty sure this is a female or immature bunting of some sort. Doesn't seem green enough to be a painted bunting or lazuli bunting so I'm leaning more towards indigo bunting?

Sorry Jamie, not a painted bunting. Like I mentioned in my description, this bird is way to dull to be a painted bunting. Got some experts to look at it and it's a varied bunting, one I had completely forgotten was in range. Thanks for your help though!
And be sure you are always adding links with your ID suggestions. You left me a link in a comment, but almost every ID suggestion I see of yours does not have an ID link. Many users won't go check to see if suggestions are correct, especially when there is no link, so this is a very important part of an ID suggestion. Thanks.
I really think this is a immature painted bunting indigo buntings have much more detail heres a link to a immature painted bunting that looks similar.
