You will want to wait for another confirmation since I'm just guessing, but the markings match well. This picture matches the color better:

Thanks, it was very cute. When we first heard the chick, it was on a branch of a downed tree. When I came back to take the picture, it was on the ground. We did not see where the rest of the family was, but we could hear them, so it wasn't abandoned. I don't know if it was old enough yet for flying practice or not!

Thank you, MackyYoung! That is it and that was a fast reply. I will update the spotting.

Thank you, Ava T-B! I will. What an awesome mission. And these Phoebe parents deserve some recognition for their intricate nest. :o)

Those look way cooler in your photo then they do in my MDOC mushroom book. They need your picture!

I don't much like bugs, but that one is beautiful.

Thank you KarenL. It kept failing to load and I didn't get a response from support, but it is now working and you should see the pics!

Thanks Hope. Per the MO Wildflowers site: "This species and another, H. pusilla Schoepf, have been lumped together taxonomically and are now known as Hedyotis crassifolia Raf." So its okay we can't figure 'em out. :o) I chose Minima on this comparing the sepals in the photos, but it was just a guess. I think I got the Henbit and Deadnettle straight, but I've heard people talk and it sounds common to call it all Henbit anyway!
